DNA‐Templated Silver Nanoclusters for Multiplexed Fluorescent DNA Detection

Abstract

Novel label-free/conjugation-free molecular beacons are designed based on DNA templated-silver nanoclusters for multiplexed DNA detection. The assay is implemented in solution, which makes it easy for the in-situ and real-time analysis. This study demonstrates a new method for multiplexd detection of biological molecules by using fluorescent Ag nanocluster-based molecular beacon probes.
