[The Increase of Oligonucleotides--Gold Nanoparticles Conjugates Stability].
For today the reagents based on oligonucleotides--gold nanoparticles conjugates and used for specific nucleic acids detection are actively being developed. Such molecular structures are stabilized through the bonds between thiol group in oligonucleotides and gold atoms in nanoparticle. The durability of oligonucleotides--gold nanoparticles binding affects directly on the stability of conjugates and on the possibility of further manipulations. In this paper, a method for the strengthening of oligonucleotides attachment on the gold nano-particles surface by means of anchor groups with dithiolane residues is proposed. A comparative study of the anchors molecular structure influence on the conjugates stability at conditions that typical for oligonucleotide probes was carried out.
