Enhancement of optical nonlinearity in periodic gold nanoparticle arrays.
Linear and nonlinear optical properties of periodic triangular Au nanoparticle arrays were investigated. We compared the optical nonlinearity of periodic Au nanoparticle arrays with that of the ultra-thin gold film consisting of randomly distributed spheroidal clusters. A pronounced enhancement of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ((3)) in Au arrays was observed, and the figure ...
متن کاملThe optical detection of individual DNA-conjugated gold nanoparticle labels after metal enhancement.
The detection of DNA using nanoparticles as labels is an interesting alternative to the standard fluorescence technique. It requires simpler detection equipment, resulting in higher stability and lower costs. Besides easier detection, metal enhancement allows a higher sensitivity of detection. The signal-response curve for labelled DNA before and after silver enhancement was studied, applying b...
متن کاملEnhancement of in vitro translation by gold nanoparticle--DNA conjugates.
Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-DNA conjugates can enhance in vitro translation of a protein. Enhancement occurs via a combination of nonspecific adsorption of translation-related molecules and the ribosome to the AuNP-DNA and specific binding to the mRNA of interest. AuNP-DNA conjugates enhanced protein production of fluorescent proteins (mCherry, eGFP) in retic lysate mixes by 65-100%. Gel electroph...
متن کاملCharacterization and optimization of gold nanoparticle-based silver-enhanced immunoassays.
Silver-enhanced nanoparticle-labeled immunoassays provide a simple, low-cost, and effective way of detecting antigens in dilute solutions. The physical mechanisms behind their operation, however, have not been fully investigated. We present a semiquantitative approach for optimizing sandwich nanoparticle immunoassays using an adsorption-controlled kinetic model. Primary antibodies were immobili...
متن کاملPhase Transition and Optical Properties of DNA-Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies.
We review recent work on DNA-linked gold nanoparticle assemblies. The synthesis, properties, and phase behavior of such DNA-gold nanoparticle assemblies are described. These nanoparticle assemblies have strong optical extinction in the ultraviolet and visible light regions; hence, the technique is used to study the kinetics and phase transitions of DNA-gold nanoparticle assemblies. The melting ...
