Abstract:
Metal nanoprobes have recently attracted board research interestinr their application in establishing sensing systems due to their unique optical, electrical, physical, and chemical properties. In comparison to gold and silver nanoprobes, analytical platform based on copper nanoprobes (Cu-NPs) is still in the early stages of development. In this review, we focus on single-stranded, and double-stranded DNA capped Cu-NPs sensing systems which have been designed for various analytes, including metal ions, anions, small molecules, biomolecules (DNA, RNA, and protein, etc.). In addition, the application of Cu-NPs in biological labeling or bio-imaging platforms has also been introduced and summarized.
