Abstract excerpt
Detection of DNA mutations is critical for scientific research and diagnostic procedures. Here, we propose a novel interdisciplinary method for rapid and simple detection of DNA mutations. We show that heating a solution containing DNA and gold nanoparticles results in degradation of the DNA. Surprisingly, we found that the DNA can be protected against degradation, if an oligonucleotide that matches the DNA is...
