摘要: In this letter, we present a new design that uses single-stranded (ss) DNAs containing two stretches of cytosine (C)-rich domains for the controlled assembly gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). We show is driven by formation interparticle i-motif (four-stranded C-quadruplex) structures formed between C-rich ssDNAs on neighboring Au NPs. The happens only at slightly acidic pH conditions (pHs below pKa i-motif). reversible and can be switched changing solution pH. disassembly process accompanied distinct color changes are clearly visible to naked eye. This development may have applications in pH-sensitive nanostructures and/or devices.
