Abstract:
With the assistance of peptides, a stable and highly efficient approach for the quick loading of thiol-DNA onto AuNPs is proposed with a high DNA utilization, which is generally applicable to specific DNA detection and diverse AuNP sizes. The maximum efficiency of hybridization reached 93% while the reaction time was shortened to 30 min.
