Abstract:
We report that complexes formed between gold nanorods (AuNRs) and metal-mediated DNA exhibit plasmonic circular dichroism (CD) signals up to ∼400 times stronger than the molecular CD signal of DNA. This substantial enhancement enables the detection of metal ions, offering a promising approach to analytical applications in chiral biochemistry.
