Graphene biodevices

Graphene's modifiable chemistry, large surface area, atomic thickness and molecularly-gatable structure make antibody-functionalized graphene sheets excellent candidates for mammalian and microbial detection and diagnosis devices.[132]

The most ambitious biological application of graphene is for rapid, inexpensive electronic DNA sequencing. Integration of graphene (thickness of 0.34 nm) layers as nanoelectrodes into a nanopore[133] can solve one of the bottleneck issues of nanopore-based single-molecule DNA sequencing.

Yes, but if you want to read DNA via AFM, you should put it on a
graphite or gold surface:
