In this work, a new phenomenon was found that the insertion of guanine (G) bases into the
cytosine (C)-rich DNA could endow enhanced fluorescence intensity of DNA-templated …

In this study, we prepared fluorescent, functional oligonucleotide-stabilized silver
nanoclusters (FFDNA-Ag NCs) through one-pot synthesis and then employed them as …

Nucleic acid stability and structure, which are crucial to the properties of fluorescent DNA-
templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-Ag NCs), significantly change in ionic liquids. In this …

DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA–AgNCs) have emerged as promising materials for
sensing, bio-labelling, and bio-imaging due to their fluorogenic properties. Using the 12 mer …

A novel DNA-directed AgNCs (DNA-AgNCs) was synthesized with economical raw material
(natural fish sperm DNA) through a simple and rapid approach, and it first showed high and …

A simple and low-cost fluorescence signal-on sensing strategy has been developed based
on functional nucleic acids (FNAs) via energy transfer between DNA-templated silver …

We present here a highly selective and sensitive label-free method to detect Hg2+ ions in
aqueous solution by using DNA molecular machine-based fluorescent Ag nanoclusters …

Fluorescence of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters can be enhanced by more than 100-fold
by placing the nanoclusters in proximity to guanine-rich DNA sequences after hybridization …

A label-free strategy based on the Fenton reaction with DNA-templated silver nanoclusters
(DNA-Ag NCs) as a probe is demonstrated for the sequential detection of Cu2+, ascorbic …

In the present day, oligonucleotide-encapsulated silver clusters (DNA–AgNCs) have been
widely applied into bio-analysis as a signal producer. Herein, we developed a novel method …
