The standard protocols for DNA analysis largely involve polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, DNA structures bound to chemical agents cannot be PCR-amplified, and therefore any sequence changes induced by external agents may be neglected. Thus, t...

Direct surface-enhanced raman scattering analysis of DNA duplexes (2014)
Journal Article
Guerrini, L., Krpetic, Z., Van Lierop, D., Alvarez-Puebla, R., & Graham, D. (2014). Direct surface-enhanced raman scattering analysis of DNA duplexes. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 54(4), 1144-1148. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201408558

The exploration of the genetic information carried by DNA has become a major scientific challenge. Routine DNA analysis, such as PCR, still suffers from important intrinsic limitations. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as an out... Read More about Direct surface-enhanced raman scattering analysis of DNA duplexes.

Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury (2014)
Journal Article
Gordillo, G., Krpetic, Z., & Brust, M. (2014). Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury. ACS nano, 8(6), 6074-6080. https://doi.org/10.1021/nn501395e

It is demonstrated that a compact monolayer of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine adsorbed to a hanging mercury drop electrode can serve as a simple electrochemical model system to study biomembrane penetration by gold nanoparticles. The hydrog... Read More about Interactions of gold nanoparticles with a phospholipid monolayer membrane on mercury.
