Positively charged Ag-dendron conjugates: Stability enhanced AgNPs for biomedical applications

Cho T.J., Liu J., Hackley V.A., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

We developed positively charged silver nanoparticles ([Ag-Ds]+), nominally 20 nm in diameter, using dendron chemistry combined with reduction of silver nitrate in the presence of sodium borohydride. The conjugate was developed within the context of [...]

DNA-DNA Interaction on Dendron-Functionalized Sol-Gel Silica Films Followed with Surface Plasmon Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Kwon S.H., Hong B.J., Park H.Y., Park J.W., Knoll W., Park H.Y., Park J.W., Center for Integrated Molecular System., KR

Since we observed that dendron-assembled surface providing a proper spacing between immobilized DNAs showed high single nucleotide polymorphism discrimination efficiency for DNA microarrays(1), the nanoscale-controlled surface is examined with surface plasmon field-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (or [...]
