Abstract
In the present work, we have synthesized conjugates between the 5 nm gold nanoparticles (Au-NP) and 5' thiolfunctionalized, 700 bp poly(dG)-poly(dC). We have completely separated and purified to homogeneity conjugates bearing different number of poly(dG)-poly(dC) molecules per Au-NP by electrophoresis and HPLC. The conjugates were directly visualized by atomic force microscopy. We have demonstrated that Au NP-bound poly(dG)-poly(dC) can be considerably extended by Klenow exo- polymerase in the presence of dCTP and dGTP.
