Fluorescent Silver Nanoclusters in Condensed DNA

Abstract: We study the formation and fluorescent properties of silver nanoclusters encapsulated in condensed DNA nanoparticles. Fluorescent globular DNA nanoparticles are formed using a dsDNA-cluster complex and polyallylamine as condensing agents. The fluorescence emission spectrum of single DNA nanoparticles is obtained using tip-enhanced fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescent clusters in condensed DNA nanoparticles appear to be more protected against destructive damage in solution compared to clusters synthesized on a … Show more

“…It is interesting to note that together with the synthesis of nanoparticles on DNA (Figure 13(a)), at low Ag + concentration in DNA solutions with the shortage of Ag + ions outside the helix, the reduction of silver ions causes the formation of the luminescent silver nanoclusters (Figure 13(b)). The small size of silver nanoclusters (up to 20 atoms) prevents the analysis of the systems with AFM technique [13]. At small concentrations of silver ions and the reductant in DNA solutions, the fluorescence of silver nanoclusters is observed.…”

“…In contrast to nanoparticles, the smallest luminescence metal nanoclusters without plasmonic resonance can also be used for the bioimaging and other applications [8][9][10][11][12][13]. The noble metal quantum clusters (NMQCs) have intriguing photophysical and chemical properties.…”

“…Thus, the library of DNA-templated AgNCs contains spectrally tunable, photostable and strongly absorbing efficient emitters with large Stokes shifts. Particularly in microscopy settings, where background emission and scattering are significant concerns, these are ideal emitter characteristics121314151617. At the same time the potential biocompatibility and low material cost makes these clusters highly attractive, for example, to sensor applications and bio-labelling11181920212223.…”

“…In particular, the energy of the interaction of silver with C=O groups of the nitrogen bases does not exceed 95 kJ/mol, while this parameter in the formation of chelate structures may reach 413 kJ/mol. The theoretical modeling results were experimentally supported in a study of hybrid nanoparticles prepared from silver clusters with a shell consisting of DNA macromolecules compacted by polyallylamine [159]. The polymer shell protects the silver clusters from solvation and oxidation and also provides stability for the structure and luminescent properties of the composites (emission bands with maxima~590 and~680 nm at l exc = 280 nm).…”
