The room-temperature structure of DNA-linked gold nanoparticle aggregates is investigated
using a combination of experiment and theory. The experiments involve extinction …

We present a model for structure formation, melting, and optical properties of gold/DNA
nanocomposites. These composites consist of a collection of gold nanoparticles (of radius …

We propose a model that can account for the experimentally observed phase behavior of
DNA-nanoparticle assemblies [R. Jin, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 125, 1643 (2003) JACSAT 0002 …

A study aimed at understanding the factors that control the optical properties of DNA-linked
gold nanoparticle aggregates containing oligonucleotide linkers of varying length (24− 72 …

DNA− gold nanoparticle assemblies have shown promise as an alternative technology to
DNA microarrays for DNA detection and RNA profiling. Understanding the effect of DNA …

Melting and hybridization of DNA-capped gold nanoparticle networks are investigated with
optical absorption spectroscopy. Single-stranded, 12-base DNA-capped gold nanoparticles …

It is well known that single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) is easily able to adsorb on citrate-capped,
non-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). However, the affinity of double-stranded …

Dynamic light scattering is used as a sensitive probe of hybridization on DNA-functionalized
colloidal gold nanoparticles. When a target DNA strand possesses an 8 base “dangling …

We present a coarse-grained model of DNA-functionalized colloids that is computationally
tractable. Importantly, the model parameters are solely based on experimental data. Using …

Three-dimensional ordered lattices of nanoparticles (NPs) linked by DNA have potential
applications in novel devices and materials, but most experimental attempts to form crystals …
