Mercury ion (Hg(2+)) is able to specifically bind to the thymine-thymine (T-T) base pair in a DNA duplex and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can effectively quench fluorescence of the dye tethered to the DNA, which enables fluorescent detection of Hg(2+) in aqueous solution with high selectivity and sensitivity.
汞离子(Hg(2+))能够特异性地与 DNA 双链体中的胸腺嘧啶-胸腺嘧啶(T-T)碱基对结合,而单壁碳纳米管(SWNTs)可以有效地猝灭与 DNA 连接的染料的荧光,这使得可以在水溶液中对 Hg(2+)进行高选择性和高灵敏度的荧光检测。
