dsDNA-specific fluorescent copper nanoparticles as a “green” nano-dye for polymerization-mediated biochemical analysis†
Abstract
Here we exploit dsDNA-specific fluorescent copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) as a “green” nano-dye for polymerization-mediated biochemical analysis. Good feasibility and universality are demonstrated through detecting three model targets (polymerase, mercury ion and nucleic acid).
