  • Title: A DNA-templated fluorescent silver nanocluster with enhanced stability.
    Author: Sharma J, Rocha RC, Phipps ML, Yeh HC, Balatsky KA, Vu DM, Shreve AP, Werner JH, Martinez JS.
    Journal: Nanoscale; 2012 Jul 21; 4(14):4107-10. PubMed ID: 22648534.
    Abstract:
    We report the discovery of a DNA sequence that templates a highly stable fluorescent silver nanocluster. In contrast to other DNA templated silver nanoclusters that have a relatively short shelf-life, the fluorescent species templated in this new DNA sequence retains significant fluorescence for at least a year. Moreover, this new silver nanocluster possesses low cellular toxicity and enhanced thermal, oxidative, and chemical stability.
