Toward site-specific, homogeneous and highly stable fluorescent silver nanoclusters fabrication on triplex DNA scaffolds
A new strategy to create site-specific, homogeneous, and bright silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) with high-stability was demonstrated by triplex DNA as template. By reasonable design of DNA sequence, homogeneous Ag(2) cluster was obtained in the predefined position of CG.C(+) site of triplex DNA. This strategy was also explored for controlled alignment of AgNCs on the DNA nanoscaffold. To the best o...
متن کاملPhosphorothioate DNA Stabilized Fluorescent Gold and Silver Nanoclusters
Unmodified single-stranded DNA has recently gained popularity for the templated synthesis of fluorescent noble metal nanoclusters (NCs). Bright, stable, and biocompatible clusters have been developed primarily through optimization of DNA sequence. However, DNA backbone modifications have not yet been investigated. In this work, phosphorothioate (PS) DNAs are evaluated in the synthesis of Au and...
متن کاملWater-soluble fluorescent silver nanoclusters.
Ag nanoclusters consist of several to roughly a hundred atoms and possess sizes comparable to the Fermi wavelength of electrons; they exhibit molecule-like properties, including discrete electronic transitions and strong fluorescence. These nanoclusters are of significant interest because they provide the bridge between atomic and nanoparticle behavior in noble metals. Since the first observati...
متن کاملLabel-free fluorescent detection of copper(II) using DNA-templated highly luminescent silver nanoclusters.
Novel luminescent silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) were synthesized utilizing DNA as templates by a simple, rapid and one-pot procedure. Luminescence studies indicated that these DNA-AgNCs exhibited strong emission with peak maximum at 624 nm. The fluorescence of the DNA-AgNCs was found to be quenched by Cu(2+) enabling its detection with high sensitivity and selectivity.
متن کاملA complementary palette of fluorescent silver nanoclusters.
We report the synthesis and photophysical properties of silver-nanoclusters templated on DNA, with fluorescence excitation and emission at distinct wavelengths that are tuned to common laser excitation wavelengths.
