title: Aptatag-based multiplexed assay for protein detection by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
abstract: Silver-nanoparticle dimers held together by a Raman reporter, capped with DNA aptamers and stabilized by polyethylene glycol chains, can be used to develop a multiplexed heterogeneous bioassay for protein detection with high sensitivity and selectivity.
