Silver nanocluster aptamers: in situ generation of intrinsically fluorescent recognition ligands for protein detection

Abstract

We have synthesized an intrinsically fluorescent recognition ligand that combines the high fluorescence quantum yield (>50%) of oligonucleotide templated AgNCs with the specificity and strong binding affinity of DNA aptamers for their target proteins, to develop a new strategy for detection of specific proteins.
