Glyco‐DNA–Gold Nanoparticles: Lectin‐Mediated Assembly and Dual‐Stimuli Response

Abstract

The formation and properties of glyco-DNA–gold nanoparticles (NP) with a multivalent presentation of DNA-glyco ligands is presented. These particles are equipped with two reversible binding modes, which enable reversible dissociation by two independent external stimuli: temperature-induced DNA duplex melting and displacement of the DNA-glyco ligands from the carbohydrate recognition domains with free sugar.
