Photo-switchable patterning of gold nanoparticles along 3D DNA nanotubes.
We have developed a reversible photoswitching platform based on 3D DNA nanotubes by integrating photoisomerizable azobenzene molecules along the edges. This would allow the reversible conformational changes of the nanotubes between linear and bent features and the switchable patterning of gold nanoparticles in response to UV/Vis irradiation. This work provides a new strategy to create reversibl...
متن کاملDetection of Quadruplex DNA by Gold Nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticles have been used as a probe to detect low (<10 ppb) concentrations of quadruplex DNA. These nanoparticles display a tendency to form aggregates in the presence of certain quadruplex forms, as observed via enhanced plasmon resonance light scattering (PRLS) signals. These nanoparticles showed differing degrees of interactions with different types of quadruplex and mixed sequences...
متن کاملThermal Stability of DNA Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles
Therapeutic uses of DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) have shown great potential and exciting opportunities for disease diagnostics and treatment. Maintaining stable conjugation between DNA oligonucleotides and gold nanoparticles under thermally stressed conditions is one of the critical aspects for any of the practical applications. We systematically studied the thermal stabili...
متن کاملDNA-templated preparation of gold nanoparticles.
DNA-mediated gold nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of DNA-Au(III) complex. The DNA-Au(III) was first formed by reacting DNA with HAuCl₄ at a pH of 5.6. The complex in solution was reacted with hydrazine reducing Au(III) to Au. The reduced Au formed nanodimensional aggregates. The particle distributions were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electro...
متن کاملMagnetic and gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles as a DNA sensor.
In this study, we report the chemical synthesis and functionalization of magnetic and gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles and the immobilization of single-stranded biotinylated oligonucleotides onto these particles. Selected sequences specific to the BRCA1 gene were used as a test platform. The binding of oligonucleotides to these particles was achieved through a streptavidin-biotin bridge via a...
