Abstract

A fluorescence switch that consists of DNA-templated silver nanoclusters (DNA-AgNCs) triggered by silver ion (Ag⁺) is developed to detect Ag⁺. The mechanism of the fluorescence switching of DNA-AgNCs is investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism spectroscopy, DNA hybridization assay and mass spectrometry. Ag⁺ induces a dimeric structure of Cyt₁₂-AgNCs by forming a bridge between two Cyt₁₂-AgNCs, where Cyt₁₂ is cytosine 12-mer; this dimer formation causes the fluorescence change of Cyt₁₂-AgNCs from red to green. Using this Ag⁺-triggered fluorescence switch, we successfully detected Ag⁺ at concentrations as low as 10nM. Furthermore, we quantitatively detected the Ag⁺ in the Silmazin^®, which is dermatological burn ointment having silver sulfadiazine. Ag⁺ detection using this fluorescence switch has high selectivity and sensitivity, and short response time, and can be used successfully even in the presence of other metal ions.
