Impact of Ligand Shell Architecture on Structure and Reactivity of DNA Aptamer-Linked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies

DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-NPs) have enormous potential as building blocks for materials due to their ability to specifically recognize and respond to target molecules and surfaces. The ability of DNA aptamers to adopt different conformations and bind either complementary DNA sequenc...
