Rose Bengal was spun on spherical gold nanoparticles immobilized on a quartz plate by a silane coupling agent. The enhancement of the dye fluorescence was studied by changing the diameter of the gold nanoparticles from 20 to 250 nm. A maximum enhancement of dye fluorescence was observed at a size of 100 nm. We found g…

Dynamic light scattering is used as a sensitive probe of hybridization on DNA-functionalized colloidal gold nanoparticles. When a target DNA strand possesses an 8 base "dangling end", duplex formation on the surface of the nanoparticles leads to an increase in hydrodynamic radius. Duplex melting is manifested in a dro…
