Bio-inspired colorimetric detection of mercury ions using dna functionalized gold nanoparticles

This report presents a systematic study on the feasibility of using oligonucleotide functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for detection of mercury ions (Hg2+). AuNPs are chosen for their unique size dependent optical properties, which enables visual observation. Oligonucleotide probes were delib...
