摘要
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) with unique optical properties play a pivotal role in applications in plasmonic imaging, small molecule detection, and photothermal therapy. However, challenges in DNA functionalization of AuNRs hinder their full potential due to the presence of a dense cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) bilayer, impeding close DNA contact. In this study, we introduced a convenient approach for the rapid assembly of polyadenine (polyA) tailed DNA on AuNRs with control of DNA density, rigidity, and valence. We explored the impact of DNA with designed properties on the construction of core-satellite structures by employing AuNRs as cores and spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNSs) as satellites. Density, rigidity, and valence are identified as crucial factors for efficient construction. Specifically, polyA-tailed DNA modulated DNA density and reduced spatial hindrance and electrostatic repulsion, thereby facilitating the construction. Enhancing the rigidity of DNA and incorporating multiple binding sites can further improve the efficiency.
