Reversible gating of smart plasmonic molecular traps using thermoresponsive polymers for single-molecule detection
Single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has attracted increasing interest for chemical and biochemical sensing. Many conventional substrates have a broad distribution of SERS enhancements, which compromise reproducibility and result in slow response times for single-molecule detection. Here we report a smart plasmonic sensor that can reversibly trap a single molecule at hotsp...
متن کاملSingle-molecule studies using magnetic traps.
In recent years, techniques have been developed to study and manipulate single molecules of DNA and other biopolymers. In one such technique, the magnetic trap, a single DNA molecule is bound at one end to a glass surface and at the other to a magnetic microbead. Small magnets, whose position and rotation can be controlled, pull on and rotate the microbead. This provides a simple method to stre...
متن کاملSingle-molecule Detection in Nanogap- embedded Plasmonic Gratings
We introduce nanogap-embedded silver plasmonic gratings for single-molecule (SM) visualization using an epifluorescence microscope. This silver plasmonic plat‐ form was fabricated by a cost-effective nano-imprint lithography technique, using an HD DVD template. DNA/ RNA duplex molecules tagged with Cy3/Cy5 fluorophores were immobilized on SiO2-capped silver gratings. Light was coupled to the gr...
متن کاملThermoresponsive Polymers for Biomedical Applications
Thermoresponsive polymers are a class of “smart” materials that have the ability to respond to a change in temperature; a property that makes them useful materials in a wide range of applications and consequently attracts much scientific interest. This review focuses mainly on the studies published over the last 10 years on the synthesis and use of thermoresponsive polymers for biomedical appli...
متن کاملPlasmonic polymers unraveled through single particle spectroscopy.
Plasmonic polymers are quasi one-dimensional assemblies of nanoparticles whose optical responses are governed by near-field coupling of localized surface plasmons. Through single particle extinction spectroscopy correlated with electron microscopy, we reveal the effect of the composition of the repeat unit, the chain length, and extent of disorder on the energies, intensities, and line shapes o...
