Biomedical applications based on magnetic nanoparticles:DNA interactions

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles–DNA interactions can open up new possibilities in various biomedical applications. The interaction is based on the fundamental properties of DNA and magnetic nanoparticles. Hence, the properties of DNA as well as the magnetic nanoparticles reported so far have been extensively covered. The mechanisms involved in the DNA–MNP interaction are covered as evident from the literature. Different surface modifications used for DNA adsorption along with the possible modes of interaction are also covered along with their respective biomedical applications.
