Abstract:
A clathrate tetrahedral DNA gel was assembled by combining tetrahedral DNA and rigid linker PCR products to achieve visible detection of Salmonella spp. This method overcame the shortcomings of AuNPs in coloration and enriched the use of tetrahedral DNA for the visible detection of virtually any target concerned with pathogens.
