Abstract excerpt
We have used the disparity in adsorption rates for single- and double-stranded RNA on ionically coated gold nanoparticles suspended in a colloid to design a rapid sequence identification assay. Unlabeled target RNA and a probe sequence are mixed prior to exposure to the gold nanoparticles to enable efficient hybridization. We have designed assays based on either color changes or fluorescence that are sensitive to...
