DNA-spheres decorated with magnetic nanocomposites based on terminal transfer reactions for versatile target detection and cellular targeted drug delivery†
Abstract
We present an elegant approach to make a magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) conjugated DNA-sphere (MNP/DNA-SP) which is integrated with disulfide (MNP/DS-SP) or an aptamer (MNP/sgc8-SP) for GSH detection, selective cancer cell recognition, effective drug delivery, and bioimaging.
