Nanomaterial Application in DNA Binding Studies

Nanomaterials and nanotechnological devices will be certain to provide critically important applications in various fields of science and engineering due to the unique surface properties and special behavior of nanostructures typically with high ratios of surface area to volume. With a view to explore possibilities for the potential applications of some nanoscale particles, which show different behavior from that of ordinary materials, in the area of biomolecular recognition, we have tested the DNA binding properties of some ligands such as methylene green (MG), etc, in different buffer solutions of Au colloid.
