The article presents a study regarding the use of copper ions for the development of method
for the controlled reduction of DNA-complexed metal ions. The study made used of the …

We present here a binding-induced fluorescence turn-on assay for protein detection. Key
features of this assay include affinity binding-induced DNA hybridization and fluorescence …

Blue emitting gold nanoclusters templated by poly- cytosine DNA at low pH and poly-
adenine DNA at neutral pH - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C2CC32841K …

Nanomaterials with unique optical properties have shown great promise as probes for
cellular imaging. Based on these properties, a wide range of plasmonic, fluorescent and …

A series of luminescent iridium (III) complexes were synthesised and evaluated for their
ability to act as luminescent G-quadruplex-selective probes. The iridium (III) complex 9 [Ir …

Going in vivo, including living cells and the whole body, is very important for gaining a better
understanding of the mystery of life and requires specialized imaging techniques. The …

We present here a label-free and turn-on aptamer strategy for cancer cell detection based
on the recognition-induced conformation alteration of aptamer and hybridization-induced …
