DNA-templated silver nanoclusters are promising biological fluorescence probes due to their useful fluorescence properties, including tunability of emission wavelength through DNA template sequence variations. Ag K-edge EXAFS analysis of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters has been used to obtain insight into silver nanocluster bonding, size, and structural correlations to fluorescence. The results indicate the presence of small silver nanoclusters (<30 silver atoms) containing Ag-Ag bonds and Ag-N/O ligations to DNA. The DNA sequence used leads to differences in silver-DNA ligation as well as silver nanocluster size. The results support a model in which cooperative effects of both Ag-DNA ligation and variations in cluster size lead to the tuning of the fluorescence emission of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters.
DNA 模板银纳米簇由于其有用的荧光性质,是很有前途的生物荧光探针,包括通过 DNA 模板序列变化来调节发射波长。DNA 模板银纳米簇的 Ag K 边 EXAFS 分析被用来深入了解银纳米簇的键合、大小和与荧光的结构相关性。结果表明存在含有 Ag-Ag 键和 Ag-N/O 与 DNA 键合的小银纳米簇(<30 个银原子)。所使用的 DNA 序列导致银-DNA 键合以及银纳米簇大小的差异。结果支持这样一种模型,即 Ag-DNA 键合的协同效应以及簇大小的变化导致 DNA 模板银纳米簇的荧光发射的调节。
