Gold-Coated Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles for Single Methyl Discrimination in DNA Aptamers

Au- and iron-based magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are promising NPs for biomedical applications due to their unique properties. The combination of a gold coating over a magnetic core puts together the benefits from adding the magnetic properties to the robust chemistry provided by the thiol functional...
