The spatial organization of trace silver atoms on a DNA template

Abstract

This review summarized the direct link between the silver atom organization on the DNA secondary structure and the performance of AgNCs, providing an all-round support for understanding the origin of DNA/AgNCs.

Investigating the anti-streptococcal biofilm effect of ssDNA aptamer-silver nanoparticles complex on a titanium-based substrate

“…32 Among four DNA bases (A, T, C, and G) C and G provide excellent binding sites for Ag + . 33 The nanoparticleligand complex exhibits many unusual properties, such as cobonding power, high affinity, extraordinary catalytic properties for signal enhancement, and dramatic intracellular stability, making it an intracellular therapeutic and diagnostic agent. 32b In this research, by use of bioinformatics tools, a specic aptamer for S. mutans was designed and optimized.…”
