Copper-free click chemistry as an emerging tool for the programmed ligation of DNA-functionalised gold nanoparticles

We demonstrate a new method to program the ligation of single stranded DNA-modified gold nanoparticles using copper-free click chemistry. Gold nanoparticles functionalized with a discrete number of 3'-azide or 5'-alkyne modified oligonucleotides, can be brought together via a splint strand...
