Abstract
DNA-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugate is one of the most versatile bionanomaterials for biomedical and clinical diagnosis. However, to finely tune the hybridization ability and precisely control the orientation and conformation of surface-tethered oligonucleotides on AuNPs remains a hurdle. In this work, we developed a poly adenine-mediated spherical nucleic acid (polyA-mediated SNA) strategy by assembling di-block DNA probes on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to spatially control interdistance and hybridization ability of oligonucleotides on AuNPs. By modulating length of poly A bound on the SNA with different degrees of constructing, we presented significant improved biosensing performance including high hybridization efficiency, and expanded dynamic range of analytes with more sensitive detection limit. Furthermore, this polyA design could facilitate the programmable detection for DNA in serum environment and simultaneous multicolor detection of three different microRNAs associated with pancreatic carcinoma. The demonstration of the link between modulation of SNA assembly strategy and biodetection capability will increase the development of high performance diagnostic tools for translational biomedicine.

Abstract
Early diagnosis of HIV biomarkers or genes is the key to reducing acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) mortality. In our work, we developed a novel polymerase chain reaction-dynamic light scattering (PCR-DLS) assay for one-step sensitive detection of HIV DNA based on the average-diameter change of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). This is the first PCR assay that makes use of the DLS technique as a signal read-out, with the particle size measured by DLS increasing with the concentration of target DNA. With the help of the AuNP probes, this PCR-DLS assay can effectively improve the specificity of PCR reactions, which can greatly increase the detection sensitivity, with a detection limit of 1.8 aM (S/N = 3). In addition, the proposed strategy was successfully used to analyze target DNA in human serum samples, indicating that the PCR-DLS assay has a promising potential application for rapid and early clinical diagnosis of HIV infection.
