Phosphorothioate DNA Stabilized Fluorescent Gold and Silver Nanoclusters
Unmodified single-stranded DNA has recently gained popularity for the templated synthesis of fluorescent noble metal nanoclusters (NCs). Bright, stable, and biocompatible clusters have been developed primarily through optimization of DNA sequence. However, DNA backbone modifications have not yet been investigated. In this work, phosphorothioate (PS) DNAs are evaluated in the synthesis of Au and...
متن کاملDistinct conformations of DNA-stabilized fluorescent silver nanoclusters revealed by electrophoretic mobility and diffusivity measurements.
Silver-DNA nanoclusters (Ag:DNAs) are novel fluorophores under active research and development as alternative biomolecular markers. Comprised of a few-atom Ag cluster that is stabilized in water by binding to a strand of DNA, they are also interesting for fundamental explorations into the properties of metal molecules. Here, we use in situ calibrated electrokinetic microfluidics and fluorescenc...
متن کاملProtein-based fluorescent metal nanoclusters for small molecular drug screening.
A facile drug screening method based on synthesis of fluorescent gold nanoclusters inside albumin proteins loaded with small molecular drugs and comparing the relative fluorescence intensities of the resultant gold nanoclusters has been developed and successfully applied for the quantitative measurement of drug-protein binding constants.
متن کاملPhotoreductive synthesis of water-soluble fluorescent metal nanoclusters.
Water-soluble fluorescent copper, silver and gold nanoclusters with quantum yields of 2.2, 6.8 and 5.3%, respectively, are prepared by a robust photoreduction of their inorganic precursors in the presence of poly (methacrylic acid) functionalized with pentaerythritol tetrakis 3-mercaptopropionate.
متن کاملMulticolor Fluorescent Biosensor for Multiplexed Detection of DNA
Development of efficient methods for highly sensitive and rapid screening of specific oligonucleotide sequences is essential to the early diagnosis of serious diseases. In this work, an aggregated cationic perylene diimide (PDI) derivative was found to efficiently quench the fluorescence emission of a variety of anionic oligonucleotide-labeled fluorophores that emit at wavelengths from the visi...
