Fluorescence properties of gold nanorods and their application for DNA biosensing.
This communication reveals new and unique optical properties with respect to enhanced fluorescence of gold nanorods as they elongate; a novel strategy for DNA hybridization studies based on monitoring the fluorescence intensity of gold nanorods has been demonstrated.
