Abstract:
We report an original approach exploiting the photoelectrochemical properties of quantum rods and the versatility of Au(I) organometallic chemistry to control DNA surface grafting. This one-pot aqueous approach provides Janus biofunctionalized nanoparticles, the assembly of which should results in the emergence of synergistic properties.
