Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A platform for single-molecule measurement of binding kinetics &amp; enzyme activity.
