Streptavidin-coated gold nanoparticles: critical role of oligonucleotides on stability and fractal aggregation

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit unique properties that can be modulated through a tailored surface functionalization, enabling their targeted use in biochemical sensing and medical diagnostics. In particular, streptavidin-modified AuNPs are increasingly used for biosensing purposes. We report her...
