Oligonucleotide-Directed Synthesis of Chiral Gold Nanoparticles - AZoNano

Researchers demonstrated the synthesis of chiral gold (Au) nanoparticles utilizing a chiral shape modifier single-stranded (ss) adenine oligonucleotide.

Matter exhibiting chirality in biological systems shows a unique optical response under polarized light. However, morphological control and the consequent optical response of 3-dimensional (3D) chira… [+6683 chars]
