摘要

We decorated a single giant DNA (1.66 × 10 ~(5) base pairs) with gold nanoparticles through the simple procedure of mild warming, without denaturation of the DNA molecule. Single-molecule observation with fluorescence microscopy revealed that individual decorated DNA molecules stay in the bulk solution by avoiding aggregation and precipitation, and exhibit translational and conformational fluctuation, i.e. , Brownian motion. An analysis of the intra-chain fluctuation of single DNA molecules revealed that the apparent spring constant and damping coefficient of a DNA chain increased by ca. 13- and 5-fold, respectively, upon decoration with gold nanoparticles. Observation by transmission electron microscopy revealed that gold nanoparticles were stably attached to the DNA skeleton. UV-visible measurements revealed the absence of any detectable change in surface plasmon resonance, suggesting that the gold nanoparticles assemble without the formation of a densely packed aggregate. CD measurements showed that the secondary structure of decorated DNA is still essentially the B-form.
