Abstract excerpt
Metal nanoclusters have received considerable interest due to their unique properties and potential applications in numerous fields. Particularly, newly emerging Cu nanoclusters offer excellent potential as functional biological probes. In this work, we for the first time report that the fluorescence of DNA-hosted Cu nanoclusters is very sensitive to base type located in the major groove. This intriguing finding...
