DNA-mediated dynamic plasmonic nanostructures: assembly, actuation, optical properties, and biological applications

Abstract

Recent advances in DNA technology have made it possible to combine with the plasmonics to fabricate reconfigurable dynamic nanodevices with extraordinary property and function. These DNA-mediated plasmonic nanostructures have been investigated for a variety of unique and beneficial physicochemical properties and their dynamic behavior has been controlled by endogenous or exogenous stimuli for a variety of interesting biological applications. In this perspective, the recent efforts to use the DNA nanostructures as molecular linkers for fabricating dynamic plasmonic nanostructures are reviewed. Next, the actuation media for triggering the dynamic behavior of plasmonic nanostructures and the dynamic response in optical features are summarized. Finally, the applications, remaining challenges and perspectives of the DNA-mediated dynamic plasmonic nanostructures are discussed.
