Gold Nanorod Enhanced Fluorescence Enables Single-Molecule Electrochemistry of Methylene Blue.
Redox reactions are central to energy conversion and life metabolism. Herein we present electrochemical measurements with fluorescent readout of the redox-sensitive dye Methylene Blue (MB), at the single-molecule (SM) level. To overcome the low fluorescence quantum yield of MB we enhanced fluorescence by using individual gold nanorods to achieve the required sensitivity. By measuring the same m...
متن کاملDNA electrochemistry with tethered methylene blue.
Methylene blue (MB'), covalently attached to DNA through a flexible C(12) alkyl linker, provides a sensitive redox reporter in DNA electrochemistry measurements. Tethered, intercalated MB' is reduced through DNA-mediated charge transport; the incorporation of a single base mismatch at position 3, 10, or 14 of a 17-mer causes an attenuation of the signal to 62 ± 3% of the well-matched DNA, irres...
متن کاملEnhanced-fluorescence correlation spectroscopy at micro-molar dye concentration around a single gold nanorod.
Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) is a standard tool for studying diffusion of molecules in solution, but is limited to low analyte concentrations, in the range between 10 pM and 1 nM. Such concentration limitations can be overcome by using a plasmonic nanoantenna which confines the electric field of excitation light into a tiny volume near its surface and thereby reduces the effectiv...
متن کاملSingle Molecule Electrochemistry
By using specially constructed nanometer tips of sharpened Pt-Ir wire in a wax sheath, small numbers of molecules (1-10) can be trapped between the tip and a substrate. Repeated electron transfers of an electroactive molecule as it shuttles by diffusion between tip and substrate produce a current (∼0.6 pA/molecule) that can be used to detect the trapped molecules. The tip electrode size and sha...
متن کاملFluorescence and Fourier Transform Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Measurements of Methylene Blue Adsorbed onto a Sulfur-Modified Gold Electrode
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and molecular fluorescence are used to probe the structure of a methylene blue monolayer adsorbed onto a sulfur-modified polycrystalline gold electrode. Changes in the wavelength of fluorescence for methylene blue on the gold electrode as compared to dilute solution indicate that the dye molecules' state of aggregation and electronic structure have been ...
