Metal nanoparticle–DNA hybrids – from assembly towards functional conjugates

Abstract

The connection between metal nanoparticles and biomolecular systems has been intensively studied in recent decades as this field promises a vast variety of new applications. In this context DNA has been widely used in combination with nanoparticles for the generation of complex nanoarchitectures. Herein we would like to highlight some recent advances in gold nanoparticle–DNA research that demonstrate distinct functionality and open the prospect of a broad range of innovative applications in nanoelectronics, medicine, sensors, and various other areas related to material science.
