Abstract: Silver nanoparticles coated by a layer of gold (Ag@Au) have received much attentionbecause of their potential application as ultra sensitive probes for the detection of biologicallyimportant molecules such as DNA, proteins, amino acids and many others. However, the abilityto control the size, shape, and monodispersity of the Ag@Au structure has met with limitedsuccess. In our own research we have addressed this challenge by creating an aqueous wetchemical synthesis technique towards size and shape controllable Ag@Au nanoparticles. Thesematerials are highly interesting because of the tunable silver core size, and the tunable gold shellthickness, opening many avenues to the modification of the particle properties in terms of biomolecularsensing. The resulting nanoparticle probes were functionalized with twocomplementary stranded DNA oligonucleotides. When combined, the complementary strandshybridized, causing the Ag@Au nanoparticles to assemble into large nano-structures. Thepresence of the oligonucleotide was confirmed through a series of techniques including UV-Visand RAMAN spectroscopy, as well as HR-TEM, XPS, DLS, and many others. The resultsreflect the role that the nanoparticle physical properties play in the detection of the bio-molecules,as well as elucidate the characteristics of the bio-molecule/nanoparticle interaction.
