Using gold nanobeacons as a theranostic technique to recognize, detect, and inhibit specific nucleic acids

Summary: This protocol describes the synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticle-based nanobeacons as a theranostic strategy for the recognition, detection, and inhibition of miRNA and mRNA. This system is designed for an in vitro evaluation of a sequence’s silencing potential and later used...
