Abstract
The combination of DNA nanotechnology and Nano Gold (NG) plasmon has opened exciting possibilities for a new generation of functional plasmonic systems that exhibit tailored optical properties and find utility in various applications. In this review, the booming development of dynamic gold nanostructures are summarized, which are formed by DNA self-assembly using DNA-modified NG, DNA frameworks, and various driving forces. The utilization of bottom-up strategies enables precise control over the assembly of reversible and dynamic aggregations, nano-switcher structures, and robotic nanomachines capable of undergoing on-demand, reversible structural changes that profoundly impact their properties. Benefiting from the vast design possibilities, complete addressability, and sub-10 nm resolution, DNA duplexes, tiles, single-stranded tiles and origami structures serve as excellent platforms for constructing diverse 3D reconfigurable plasmonic nanostructures with tailored optical properties. Leveraging the responsive nature of DNA interactions, the fabrication of dynamic assemblies of NG becomes readily achievable, and environmental stimulation can be harnessed as a driving force for the nanomotors. It is envisioned that intelligent DNA-assembled NG nanodevices will assume increasingly important roles in the realms of biological, biomedical, and nanomechanical studies, opening a new avenue toward exploration and innovation.

Li X, Liu B, Liu L, Yuan H, Li Y, Zhou B, Sun J, Li C, Xue Q. Large-scale assembly of geometrically diverse metal nanoparticles-based 3D plasmonic DNA nanostructures for SERS detection of PNK in cancer cells. Talanta 2024; 266:124958. [PMID: 37499360 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.124958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023]
Abstract
The organization of geometrically diverse metal nanoparticles into a core/satellite structure at a large scale is a promising strategy for improve SERS performance due to hot spots localized enrichment and signal increase. However, due to the lack of extensional frames and strong electrostatic repulsion between plasma NPs, the fabrication of such 3D architectures with a high-density periodic hotspot in the focus volume has proven exceedingly difficult. Herein, we demonstrate a facile large-scale assembly of geometrically diverse metal nanoparticles strategy for constructing spatially extended 3D plasmonic nanostructures resembling "signal towers" based on RCA-mediated periodic organization of gold nanospheres (GNS) surrounding gold nanorods (GNRs). Using cancer cell T4 PNK as a model, a padlock probe with 5'- hydroxyl (P-circle) was designed as the T4 PNK substrate. The center Au nanorod was coated with P1 and served as a "pedestal" to allow substantial loading of P-circle after target phosphorylation to initiate the rolling ring amplification reaction (RCA). The resultant DNA nanowire serves as an "antenna" to successively lock numerous Raman reporter P2 (Cy3-P2-SH) through base pairing at regular intervals. Finally, the 3D plasma DNA nanostructures that resemble "signal towers" could be obtained by placing a large number of GNS with a strong affinity for Au-S. The proposed 3D SERS sensor exhibited a sensitivity of LOD as low as 0.274 mU/mL, which was attributed to a substantial electromagnetic field enhancement at the inter-nanoparticle gaps between the adjacent pedestal and antenna. Moreover, by exploiting the synergistic effect of the periodically extended DNA scaffold generated by RCA amplification and the co-assembly of thiol ligand, the loaded GNS can be extended to three-dimensional space, forming a high-density periodic hotspot in the focal volume, thereby ensuring high enhancement and high reproducibility of Raman signals. In addition, this method can be used to quantify T4 PNK in HeLa cells, demonstrating its applicability in diagnosing and estimating PNK-related diseases in complex fluids.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), since its discovery in the mid-1970s, has taken on many roles in the world of analytical measurement science. From identifying known and unknown chemicals in mixtures such as pharmaceutical and environmental samples to enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of biomolecules and biomedical disease markers (or biomarkers), furthermore expanding to tracking nanostructures in vivo for medical diagnosis and therapy. This is because SERS combines the inherent power of Raman scattering capable of molecular species identification, topped with tremendous amplification in the Raman signal intensity when the molecule of interest is positioned near plasmonic nanostructures. The higher the SERS signal amplification, the lower the limit of detection (LOD) that could be achieved for the above applications. Therefore, improving SERS sensing efficiencies is vital. The signal reproducibility and SERS enhancement factor (EF) heavily rely on plasmonic nanostructure design, which has led to tremendous work in the field. But SERS signal and EF reproducibility remain key limitations for its wider market usability. This Review will scrutinize factors, some recognized and some often overlooked, that dictate the SERS signal and are of utmost importance to enable reproducible SERS EFs. Most of the factors pertain to colloidal labeled SERS. Some critically reviewed factors include the nanostructure's surface area as a limiting factor, SERS hot-spots including optimizing the SERS EF within the hot-spot volume and positioning labels, properties of label molecules governing molecule orientation in hot-spots, and resonance effects. A better understanding of these factors will enable improved optimization and control of the experimental SERS, enabling extremely sensitive LODs without overestimating the SERS EFs. These are crucial steps toward identification and reproducible quantification in SERS sensing.

Abstract
We achieved external activation of local hot-spot sites in supracolloidal assembly structures. The concept was demonstrated by boosting surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) efficiency by one order of magnitude through a heating-induced process. Our approach involves assembling gold nanoparticles with distinct dimensions, i.e. 16 and 80 nm, into well-defined planet-satellite-type arrangement structures using thermoresponsive (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) star polymer linkers. Insights into the assembly process were obtained by calculations within the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory framework. We observe one order of magnitude increase in SERS enhancement by a heating-induced volume-phase transition. This magnification aligns with simulations run using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The implications of this adaptive supracolloidal concept are twofold: Firstly, our approach bypasses limitations of existing systems that are associated with the limited accessibility of electromagnetic hot-spot sites in strongly coupled, static assemblies of plasmonic nanoparticles, by providing the capability of dynamic hot-spot re-configuration. Second, these externally activated probes offer promising opportunities for the development of messenger materials and associated sensing strategies.

Abstract
Plasmons play a central role in the properties of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Plasmons in a AuNP are influenced by neighboring ones, resulting in hybridized bonding dipole modes and red-shifted resonance peaks in the extinction spectra. Previous studies have mainly focused on plasmon coupling among spherical AuNPs (AuNSs). Here, we explore plasmonic interactions between AuNSs and anisotropic gold nanorods (AuNRs), which have longitudinal (LO) and transverse (TR) plasmon modes. We successfully assemble AuNSs around AuNRs ("AuNR@AuNS"), observing shifts in both the LO and TR modes in the extinction spectra due to directional coupling. Selectively binding AuNSs to the ends of AuNRs ("AuNR═AuNS") leads to predominant plasmon coupling along the LO direction. Our simulation studies reveal that exclusive LO or TR coupling occurs only when AuNSs attach to the center of either the end or the side of AuNRs. This study provides a valuable guideline for selectively exciting plasmons in desired nanogaps when multiple nanogaps are present.

Abstract
Programmable assembly of gold nanoparticle superstructures with precise spatial arrangement has drawn much attention for their unique characteristics in plasmonics and biomedicine. Bio-inspired methods have already provided programmable, molecular approaches to direct AuNP assemblies using biopolymers. The existing methods, however, predominantly use DNA as scaffolds to directly guide the AuNP interactions to produce intended superstructures. New paradigms for regulating AuNP assembly will greatly enrich the toolbox for DNA-directed AuNP manipulation and fabrication. Here, we developed a strategy of using a spatially programmable enzymatic nanorobot arm to modulate anisotropic DNA surface modifications and assembly of AuNPs. Through spatial controls of the proximity of the reactants, the locations of the modifications were precisely regulated. We demonstrated the control of the modifications on a single 15 nm AuNP, as well as on a rectangular DNA origami platform, to direct unique anisotropic AuNP assemblies. This method adds an alternative enzymatic manipulation to DNA-directed AuNP superstructure assembly.

Abstract
How far we can push chemical self-assembly is one of the most important scientific questions of the century. Colloidal self-assembly is a bottom-up technique for the rational design of functional materials with desirable collective properties. Due to the programmability of DNA base pairing, surface modification of colloidal particles with DNA has become fundamental for programmable material self-assembly. However, there remains an ever-lasting demand for surface regioselective encoding to realize assemblies that require specific, directional, and orthogonal interactions. Recent advances in surface chemistry have enabled regioselective control over the formation of DNA bonds on the particle surface. In particular, the structural DNA nanotechnology provides a simple yet powerful design strategy with unique regioselective addressability, bringing the complexity of colloidal self-assembly to an unprecedented level. In this review, we summarize the state-of-art advances in DNA-mediated regioselective surface encoding of colloids, with a focus on how the regioselective encoding is introduced and how the regioselective DNA recognition plays a crucial role in the self-assembly of colloidal structures. This review highlights the advantages of DNA-based regioselective modification in improving the complexity of colloidal assembly, and outlines the challenges and opportunities for the construction of more complex architectures with tailored functionalities.

Abstract
Creation of architectures with exquisite hierarchies actuates the germination of revolutionized functions and applications across a wide range of fields. Hierarchical self-assembly of colloidal particles holds the promise for materialized realization of structural programing and customizing. This review outlines the general approaches to organize atom-like micro- and nanoparticles into prescribed colloidal analogs of molecules by exploiting diverse interparticle driving motifs involving confining templates, interactive surface ligands, and flexible shape/surface anisotropy. Furthermore, the self-regulated/adaptive co-assembly of simple unvarnished building blocks is discussed to inspire new designs of colloidal assembly strategies.

Abstract
Over the past several years, resonance energy transfer involving noble metallic nanoparticles has received considerable attention. The aim of this review is to cover advances in resonance energy transfer, widely exploited in biological structures and dynamics. Due to the presence of surface plasmons, strong surface plasmon resonance absorption and local electric field enhancement are generated near noble metallic nanoparticles, and the resulting energy transfer shows potential applications in microlasers, quantum information storage devices and micro-/nanoprocessing. In this review, we present the basic principle of the characteristics of noble metallic nanoparticles, as well as the representative progress in resonance energy transfer involving noble metallic nanoparticles, such as fluorescence resonance energy transfer, nanometal surface energy transfer, plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer, metal-enhanced fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering and cascade energy transfer. We end this review with an outlook on the development and applications of the transfer process. This will offer theoretical guidance for further optical methods in distance distribution analysis and microscopic detection.

SERS is widely applied to in vivo imaging due to the development of functional nanoparticles encoded by Raman active molecules (SERS nanoprobes) and improvements in instruments. Herein, the recent developments in SERS active materials and their in vivo imaging and biosensing applications are overviewed. Various SERS substrates that have been successfully used for in vivo imaging are described. Then, the applications of SERS imaging in cancer detection and in vivo intraoperative guidance are summarized. The role of highly sensitive SERS biosensors in guiding the detection and prevention of diseases is discussed in detail. Moreover, its role in the identification and resection of microtumors and as a diagnostic and therapeutic platform is also reviewed. Finally, the progress and challenges associated with SERS active materials, equipment, and clinical translation are described. The present evidence suggests that SERS could be applied in clinical practice in the future.

Abstract
Multiple biomarker detection is crucial for early clinical diagnosis, and it is significant to achieve the simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers with the same nanomaterial. In this work, the hairpin DNA strands were selectively modified on the surface of gold nanorods (AuNRs) to construct two kinds of nanoprobes by rational design. When in the presence of dual microRNAs, AuNRs were assembled to form end-to-end (ETE) and side-by-side (SBS) dimers. Compared with a single AuNR, the dark-field scattering intensity and red color percentage variation of dimers were extremely distinguished, which could be developed for dual microRNA detection by combining the red color percentage and scattering intensity with the data processing method of principal component analysis to construct a two-dimensional analysis method. Especially, the fraction of AuNR dimers presented a linear relationship with the amount of microRNAs. Based on this, microRNA-21 and microRNA Let-7a in breast cancer cells were detected with the detection limits of 1.72 and 0.53 fM, respectively. This method not only achieved the sensitive detection of dual microRNAs in human serum but also realized the high-resolution intracellular imaging, which developed a new way for the oriented assembly of nanomaterials and biological detection in living cells.

Hydrophobic expanded graphite-covered support to construct flexible and stable SERS substrate for sensitive determination by paste-sampling from irregular surfaces. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 282:121708.

Abstract
Surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a promising technique for trace determination. More and more attention is focused on hybrid SERS substrates, which coupled with noble metal nanoparticles and carbon-based materials. Herein, expanded graphite (EG) is used to prepare EG-covered support by ultrasonic washing and filtration. Such support is flexible and can be cut into any shape. And the contact angle (θe) for Au nanorods (Au NRs) sol on the EG-covered support was 108.2° and the hydrophobic surface is helpful for Au NRs to construct 'hot spots' during evaporation. The limits of detection (LOD) for crystal violet (CV), thiram, malachite green (MG) and methylene blue (MB) were as low as 1 ppb, 50 ppb, 1 ppb and 1 ppb, respectively. Moreover, a fast and convenient 'paste-sampling' method could be employed for trace contaminants on real samples, because EG-based Au NRs substrate is of flexibility and porosity. Thus, CV residue on shrimp could be determined lower than 1 ppb and thiram residue on grapes could be identified lower than 50 ppb. In addition to high sensitivity, the stability of EG-based Au NRs substrate is also very good. Even after acid/alkali pretreatment (pH = 4∼10) or 30 min of thermal treatment (T = 20∼100 °C), the enhancement of the substrate remained stable. What's more, the substrate could be stored as long as 30 days. The highly stable, sensitive, cost-effective and easy-to-produce EG-based Au NRs substrates exhibit a great potential to promote application of SERS for routine analysis.

Abstract
Here, we firstly introduce a detection system consisting of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Au nanorods (AuNRs) for an ultrasensitive, rapid, quantitative and on-site detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein based on Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect. Briefly, the UCNPs capture the S protein of lysed SARS-CoV-2 in the swabs and subsequently they are bound with the anti-S antibodies modified AuNRs, resulting in significant nonradiative transitions from UCNPs (donors) to AuNRs (acceptors) at 480 nm and 800 nm, respectively. Notably, the specific recognition and quantitation of S protein can be realized in minutes at 800 nm because of the low autofluorescence and high Yb-Tm energy transfer in upconversion process. Inspiringly, the limit of detection (LOD) of the S protein can reach down to 1.06 fg mL-1, while the recognition of nucleocapsid protein is also comparable with a commercial test kit in a shorter time (only 5 min). The established strategy is technically superior to those reported point-of-care biosensors in terms of detection time, cost, and sensitivity, which paves a new avenue for future on-site rapid viral screening and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) has emerged as a contaminant of concern because long-term exposure may affect the human endocrine system. Herein, a novel aptamer sensor based on magnetic separation and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is proposed for the extremely sensitive and specific detection of trace BPA. Moreover, the capture unit was prepared by immobilizing thiolated (SH)-BPA aptamer complementary DNA on AuNP-coated magnetic halloysite nanotubes (MNTs@AuNPs), and SH-BPA aptamer-modified Au@4-MBA@Ag core-shell SERS nanotags acted as signal units. By the complementary pairing of the BPA aptamer and the corresponding DNA, MNTs@AuNPs and Au@4-MBA@AgCS were linked together through hybridization-ligation, which acted as the SERS substrate. In the absence of BPA, the constructed aptamer sensor generated electromagnetic enhancement and plasmon coupling to improve the sensitivity of SERS substrates. Owing to the high affinity between BPA and the aptamer, the aptamer probe bound to BPA was separated from the capture unit by an externally-induced magnetic field. Thus, the Raman intensity of the MNTs@AuNP-Ag@AuCS core-satellite assemblies was negatively correlated with the BPA concentration. High sensitivity measurements of BPA might be performed by determining the decline in SERS signal strength together with concentration variations. The proposed aptasensor is a promising biosensing platform for BPA detection.

Abstract
Cancer theranostics is of great significance in the personalized therapy. In this work, stable Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) containing PEG and two kinds of DNAs were prepared by means of "click chemistry". In response to ATP or acid condition, the prepared JNPs could form Au NP dimers, which facilitate in situ SERS detection and SERS imaging analysis of cancer cells due to the formation of "hot spots" in the nanogap between the Au NP dimers. A detection limit of 2.3 × 10-9 M was obtained for ATP. As for a pH sensor, the SERS signals increased with the decrease of pH value from 8.0 to 4.0. In situ monitoring of ATP or acid condition in cancer cells by SERS can improve the accuracy and sensitivity of diagnosis. Moreover, drugs and photosensitizers loaded on the other side of JNPs led to the chemotherapy/photodynamic therapy synergistic antitumor effect, which was verified by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Given the excellent performance in SERS detection and cancer therapy, the developed JNPs hold considerable potential in cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has been identified as a marker of food contamination, closely associated with human health. This work designs a sensitive and rapid bio-detection strategy for S. aureus based on hybridization chain reaction-assisted surface enhanced Raman scattering (HCR-assisted-SERS) signal amplification. In this approach, the interaction between the aptamer (Apt) and its partial complementary DNA strands (cDNA) fabricated on the surface of gold-assisted magnetic nanoparticles (Au-MNPs) and the subsequent detachment of the cDNA results in the activation of the HCR process. In the HCR, a pair of hairpin structured DNA probes (H1 and H2) with sticky ends self-assembles to form a long DNA polymer. Subsequently, the output and amplification of the SERS signal were performed by conjugating 4-ATP modified Au@Ag NPs with the obtained DNA polymer via a specific Ag-S bond, and further collected through a self-administered polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cone-shaped support array. The precise quantification of S. aureus was performed in the concentration range of 28 to 2.8 × 106 cfu/mL, achieving a detection limit of 0.25 cfu/mL. This strategy was further applied to S. aureus detection in spiked milk samples with good recoveries (91-102%) and the relative standard deviation (4.35-8.41%). The sensing platform also showed satisfactory validation results (p > 0.05) using the traditional plate counting method. The proposed HCR-assisted SERS probe can be extended to other foodborne pathogenic bacteria types via engineering appropriate Apt and DNA initiators, thus, inspiring widespread applications in food safety and biomedical research.

Abstract
Endocytosis, as one of the main ways for nanostructures enter cells, is affected by several aspects, and shape is an especially critical aspect during the endocytosis of nanostructures. However, it has remained challenging to capture the dynamic internalization behaviors of rod-shaped nanostructures while also probing the mechanical aspects of the internalization. Here, using the atomic force microscopy-based force tracing technique, transmission electron microscopy, and molecular dynamic simulation, we mapped the detailed internalization behaviors of rod-shaped nanostructures with different aspect ratios at the single-particle level. We found that the gold nanorod is endocytosed in a noncontinuous and force-rebound rotation manner, herein named "intermittent rotation". The force tracing test indicated that the internalization force (∼81 pN, ∼108 pN, and ∼157 pN) and time (∼0.56 s, ∼0.66 s, and ∼1.14 s for a 12.10 nm × 11.96 nm gold nanosphere and 26.15 nm × 13.05 nm and 48.71 nm × 12.45 nm gold nanorods, respectively) are positively correlated with the aspect ratios. However, internalization speed is negatively correlated with internalization time, irrespective of the aspect ratio. Further, the energy analysis suggested that intermittent rotation from the horizontal to vertical direction can reduce energy dissipation during the internalization process. Thus, to overcome the energy barrier of internalization, the number and angle of rotation increases with aspect ratios. Our findings provide critical missing evidence of rod-shaped nanostructure's internalization, which is essential for fundamentally understanding the internalization mechanism in living cells.

Abstract
The fabrication of discrete nanostructures with both plasmonic circular dichroism (PCD) and chiral features is still a challenge. Here, gold nanoarrows (GNAs) with both chiroptical responses and chiral morphologies are achieved by using L-selenocystine (L-SeCys2 ) as a chiral inducer. While L-SeCys2 generates GNAs with a weak PCD signal, the irradiated L-SeCys2 (irr-L-SeCys2 ) leads to GNAs with featured helical grooves (HeliGNAs) accompanying with a strong PCD signal. It is revealed that when L-SeCys2 is photo-irradiated, the emergence of selenyl radicals plays an important role in the formation of HeliGNAs and enhancement of the chiroptical signal. In comparison with L-SeCys2 and the other kinds of sulfur-containing amino acids, the formation mechanism of helical grooves on the surface of GNAs is proposed. Both HeliGNAs and GNAs are used to discriminate amino acids by utilizing surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect. In the presence of either GNAs or HeliGNAs as the substrate, Fmoc-L-Phe shows more significant SERS than Fmoc-D-Phe. This study may advance the design of discrete plasmonic nanomaterials with both chiral morphology and potential applications in discrimination of chiral molecules.

Abstract
Noble metal nanoparticles (NP) such as gold (AuNPs) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) can produce ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals owing to their plasmonic properties. AuNPs have been widely investigated for their biocompatibility and potential to be used in clinical diagnostics and therapeutics or combined for theranostics. In this work, labeled AuNPs in suspension were characterized in terms of size dependency of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and SERS activity. The study was conducted using a set of four Raman labels or reporters, i.e., small molecules with large scattering cross-section and a thiol moiety for chemisorption on the AuNP, namely 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA), 2-naphthalenethiol (2-NT), 4-acetamidothiophenol (4-AATP), and biphenyl-4-thiol (BPT), to investigate their viability for SERS tagging of spherical AuNPs of different size in the range 5 nm to 100 nm. The results showed that, when using 785 nm laser excitation, the SERS signal increases with the increasing size of AuNP up to 60 or 80 nm. The signal is highest for BPT labelled 80 nm AuNPs followed by 4-AATP labeled 60 nm AuNPs, making BPT and 4-AATP the preferred candidates for Raman labelling of spherical gold within the range of 5 nm to 100 nm in diameter.

Abstract
With the continuous growth of the human population and new challenges in the quality of life, it is more important than ever to diagnose diseases and pathologies with high accuracy, sensitivity and in different scenarios from medical implants to the operation room. Although conventional methods of diagnosis revolutionized healthcare, alternative analytical methods are making their way out of academic labs into clinics. In this regard, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) developed immensely with its capability to achieve single-molecule sensitivity and high-specificity in the last two decades, and now it is well on its way to join the arsenal of physicians. This review discusses how SERS is becoming an essential tool for the clinical investigation of pathologies including inflammation, infections, necrosis/apoptosis, hypoxia, and tumors. We critically discuss the strategies reported so far in nanoparticle assembly, functionalization, non-metallic substrates, colloidal solutions and how these techniques improve SERS characteristics during pathology diagnoses like sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit. Moreover, it is crucial to introduce the most recent developments and future perspectives of SERS as a biomedical analytical method. We finally discuss the challenges that remain as bottlenecks for a routine SERS implementation in the medical room from in vitro to in vivo applications. The review showcases the adaptability and versatility of SERS to resolve pathological processes by covering various experimental and analytical methods and the specific spectral features and analysis results achieved by these methods.

Abstract
Plasmonic gap nanostructures (PGNs) have been extensively investigated mainly because of their strongly enhanced optical responses, which stem from the high intensity of the localized field in the nanogap. The recently developed methods for the preparation of versatile nanogap structures open new avenues for the exploration of unprecedented optical properties and development of sensing applications relying on the amplification of various optical signals. However, the reproducible and controlled preparation of highly uniform plasmonic nanogaps and the prediction, understanding, and control of their optical properties, especially for nanogaps in the nanometer or sub-nanometer range, remain challenging. This is because subtle changes in the nanogap significantly affect the plasmonic response and are of paramount importance to the desired optical performance and further applications. Here, recent advances in the synthesis, assembly, and fabrication strategies, prediction and control of optical properties, and sensing applications of PGNs are discussed, and perspectives toward addressing these challenging issues and the future research directions are presented.

Abstract
A multifunctional theranostic nanosystem that integrates dynamic monitoring and therapeutic functions is necessary for precision tumor medicine. Herein, an entropy-driven self-assembly nanomachine is developed that overcomes the mechanism differences of different diagnostic modes and is applied to miRNA surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-fluorescence dual-mode dynamic monitoring and synergy phototherapy. It is worth noting that the activated dual-mode theranostic nanosystem (DTN) is capable of tumor in situ fluorescence imaging and SERS absolute quantification of the target. After being internalized into tumor cells, the DTN nanosystem is activated by the DNA cascade chain displacement of the target miR-21, resulting in the secondary release of fluorophores and the assembly of core-satellite structures (CS structures). The coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in the CS structure results in the formation of numerous enhanced electric fields (hot spot) in the nanogap of the CS structure. Then the DTN nanosystem greatly improves the sensitivity and repeatability of Raman detection by converting trace targets into numerous adenines residing in the electromagnetic hot spot of the CS structure. Meanwhile, the CS structure and the loaded photosensitizer are used for synergy phototherapy under the guidance of fluorescence imaging. This proposed strategy is confirmed by in vivo and in vitro results, and it provides new ideas for tumor SERS-fluorescence dual-mode diagnosis and effective tumor therapy.

Abstract
Site-selective deposition of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on metal nanocrystals has remained challenging because of the difficult control of the nucleation and growth of MOFs. Herein we report on a facile wet-chemistry approach for the selective deposition of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) on anisotropic Au nanobipyramids (NBPs) and nanorods. ZIF-8 is selectively deposited at the ends and waist and around the entire surface of the elongated Au nanocrystals. The NBP-based nanostructures with end-deposited ZIF-8 exhibit the best surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) performance, implying that molecules can be concentrated by ZIF-8 at the hot spots. In addition, the SERS signal exhibits good selectivity for small molecules because of the molecular sieving effect of ZIF-8. This study opens up a promising route for constructing plasmonic nanostructures with site selectively deposited ZIF-8, which hold enormous potential for molecular sensing, optical switching, and plasmonic catalysis.

Abstract
The self-assembly of colloidal nanoparticles has made it possible to bridge the nanoscopic and macroscopic worlds and to make complex nanostructures. The nanoparticle-mediated assembly enables many potential applications, from biodetection and nanomedicine to optoelectronic devices. Properties of assembled materials are determined not only by the nature of nanoparticle building blocks, but also by spatial positions of nanoparticles within the assemblies. A deep understanding of nanoscale interactions between nanoparticles is a prerequisite to controlling nanoparticle arrangement during assembly. In this review, we present an overview of interparticle interactions governing their assembly in a liquid phase. Considerable attention is devoted to examples that illustrate nanoparticle assembly into ordered superstructures using different types of building blocks, including plasmonic nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, lanthanide-doped nanophosphors, and quantum dots. We also cover the physicochemical properties of nanoparticle ensembles, especially those arising from particle coupling effects. We further discuss future research directions and challenges in controlling self-assembly at a level of precision that is most crucial to technology development.

Abstract
Herein, a new colorimetric sensor array was developed for the first time, which can rapidly recognize 9 types of metal ions (e.g., Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Fe2+, Se2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+). The colorimetric characteristics of the sensor array were closely related to the oxidation etching of the triangular gold nanoplates (AuNPLs) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In the design, two types of thiols (glutathione (GSH) and cysteine (Cys)) as recognition elements were employed to construct the sensor units (AuNPLs/GSH and AuNPLs/Cys) and adjust the etching degrees of AuNPLs in the presence of various metal ions. The differential binding affinities between metal ions and thiols will lead to different degrees of oxidation etching of AuNPLs with hydrogen peroxide, exhibiting characteristic colors, which can be visually distinguished by the naked eye. Thus, the colorimetric sensor array provides a new way for the discrimination of various metal ions, thereby simplifying the water quality analysis.

Abstract
Numerous developments in optical biomedical imaging research utilizing gold nanostructures as contrast agents have advanced beyond basic research towards demonstrating potential as diagnostic tools; some of which are translating into clinical applications. Recent advances in optics, lasers and detection instrumentation along with the extensive, yet developing, knowledge-base in tailoring the optical properties of gold nanostructures has significantly improved the prospect of near-infrared (NIR) optical detection technologies. Of particular interest are optical coherence tomography (OCT), photoacoustic imaging (PAI), multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), Raman spectroscopy (RS) and surface enhanced spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SESORS), due to their respective advancements. Here we discuss recent technological developments, as well as provide a prediction of their potential to impact on clinical diagnostics. A brief summary of each techniques' capability to distinguish abnormal (disease sites) from normal tissues, using endogenous signals alone is presented. We then elaborate on the use of exogenous gold nanostructures as contrast agents providing enhanced performance in the above-mentioned techniques. Finally, we consider the potential of these approaches to further catalyse advances in pre-clinical and clinical optical diagnostic technologies. Optical biomedical imaging research utilising gold nanostructures as contrast agents has advanced beyond basic science, demonstrating potential in various optical diagnostic tools; some of which are currently translating into clinical applications.![]()

Abstract
Nobel metal nanoparticles with tunable morphologies are highly desirable due to their unique electronic, magnetic, optical, and/or catalytic features. Here we report the use of multilayered graphdyine (GD) as a substrate for the reductant-free, room-temperature synthesis of single-crystal Au nanostructures with tunable morphology. We find that the GD template rich in sp-carbon atoms possesses high affinity with Au atoms on the {111} facets, and that the intrinsic reductivity of GD facilitates the rapid growth of Au nanoplates. The introduction of single-stranded DNA strands further results in the synthesis of Au nanostructures with decreased anisotropy, i.e., polygons and flower-like nanoparticles. The DNA-guided tunable Au growth arises from the strong adsorption of DNA on the GD template that alters the uniformity of the interface, which provides a direct route to synthesize Au nanostructures with tailorable morphology and photonic properties.

[PMID: 32423172 PMCID: PMC7279447 DOI: 10.3390/nano10050942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Plasmon-coupled colloidal nanoassemblies with carefully sculpted "hot-spots" and intense surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) are in high demand as photostable and sensitive plasmonic nano-, bio-, and chemosensors. When maximizing SERS signals, it is particularly challenging to control the hot-spot density, precisely position the hot-spots to intensify the plasmon coupling, and introduce the SERS molecule in those intense hot-spots. Here, we investigated the importance of these factors in nanoassemblies made of a gold nanorod (AuNR) core and spherical nanoparticle (AuNP) satellites with ssDNA oligomer linkers. Hot-spot positioning at the NR tips was made possible by selectively burying the ssDNA in the lateral facets via controlled Ag overgrowth while retaining their hybridization and assembly potential at the tips. This strategy, with slight alterations, allowed us to form nanoassemblies that only contained satellites at the NR tips, i.e., directional anisotropic nanoassemblies; or satellites randomly positioned around the NR, i.e., nondirectional nanoassemblies. Directional nanoassemblies featured strong plasmon coupling as compared to nondirectional ones, as a result of strategically placing the hot-spots at the most intense electric field position of the AuNR, i.e., retaining the inherent plasmon anisotropy. Furthermore, as the dsDNA was located in these anisotropic hot-spots, this allowed for the tag-free detection down to 10 dsDNA and a dramatic SERS enhancement of 1.6 × 108 for the SERS tag SYBR gold, which specifically intercalates into the dsDNA. This dramatic SERS performance was made possible by manipulating the anisotropy of the nanoassemblies, which allowed us to emphasize the critical role of hot-spot positioning and SERS molecule positioning in nanoassemblies.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSC) can be identified by modifications in their genomic DNA. Here, we report a concept of precisely shrinking an organic semiconductor surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe to quantum size, for investigating the epigenetic profile of CSC. The probe is used for tag-free genomic DNA detection, an approach towards the advancement of single-molecule DNA detection. The sensor detected structural, molecular and gene expression aberrations of genomic DNA in femtomolar concentration simultaneously in a single test. In addition to pointing out the divergences in genomic DNA of cancerous and non-cancerous cells, the quantum scale organic semiconductor was able to trace the expression of two genes which are frequently used as CSC markers. The quantum scale organic semiconductor holds the potential to be a new tool for label-free, ultra-sensitive multiplexed genomic analysis.

Abstract
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical effort has been directed toward understanding the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effect and demonstrating its potential in various types of ultrasensitive sensing applications in a wide variety of fields. In the 45 years since its discovery, SERS has blossomed into a rich area of research and technology, but additional efforts are still needed before it can be routinely used analytically and in commercial products. In this Review, prominent authors from around the world joined together to summarize the state of the art in understanding and using SERS and to predict what can be expected in the near future in terms of research, applications, and technological development. This Review is dedicated to SERS pioneer and our coauthor, the late Prof. Richard Van Duyne, whom we lost during the preparation of this article.

Abstract
The assembly of noble-metal core-satellite (CS) nanostructures is an appealing means to control their plasmonic properties for their applications such as surface-enhanced fluorescence or Raman scattering. However, till now there is a lack of some rapid or convenient methods to construct stable CS nanostructures. Here, we proposed a "clicked-to-assembly" strategy based on the fast and specific "click chemistry" reaction between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and 1,2,4,5-tetrazine (Tz). The CS nanostructures were constructed within 8 min by simple mixing of TCO- or Tz-modified nanoparticles (TCO-NPs or Tz-NPs) without any catalysts or heating required. Transmission electron microscopy experiments show that the constructed CS nanostructures are uniform, and particularly the number of "satellite" nanoparticles in the core surface is controllable by simply adjusting the feeding ratio of TCO-NPs or Tz-NPs in the reaction. The strong surface plasmon coupling effect (SPCE) was observed in these CS nanostructures, which was dependent on the coverage degree, size and composition of the satellite, and core NPs. The nanostructures with tuned surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect were tried for the surface-enhanced fluorescence in living cells. Such well-defined CS nanostructures could potentially serve as efficient SPR-enhanced fluorescent probes as diagnostics or biomedical imaging agents in nanomedicine.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoassemblies with amplified optical responses are attractive as chemo/bio sensors and diagnostic tracking agents. For real-life implementation, such nanostructures require a well-designed and controlled formation for maximizing the optical amplification. Forming these nanoassemblies typically requires numerous steps; however, the importance of the sequence of the steps is typically not discussed. Thus, here we have investigated the role of the sequence of tagging (or labeling, barcoding) of such plasmonic nanoassemblies with Raman active molecules in a quest to maximize the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) enhancement that could be achieved from the nanoassemblies. We have chosen the core-satellite nanoassembly arrangement to study the role of tagging sequence because it allows us to keep structural parameters constant that would otherwise influence the SERS amplification. We demonstrate that incorporating the tag molecule at an assembly point before formation of the nanojunctions leads to more tag molecules being positioned at the core-satellite nanojunctions, thereby resulting in higher SERS signal enhancement. This will thus prove to be a useful tool in fully utilizing the nanoassembly morphology generated hot-spot and maximizing its SERS performance.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as an ultrasensitive molecular-fingerprint-based technique for label-free biochemical analysis of biological systems. However, for conventional SERS substrates, SERS enhancement factors (EFs) strongly depend on background refractive index (RI), which prevents reliable spatiotemporal SERS analysis of living cells consisting of different extra-/intracellular organelles with a heterogeneous distribution of local RI values between 1.30 and 1.60. Here, we demonstrate that nanolaminated SERS substrates can support uniform arrays of vertically oriented nanogap hot spots with large SERS EFs (>107) insensitive to background RI variations. Experimental and numerical studies reveal that the observed RI-insensitive SERS response is due to the broadband multiresonant optical properties of nanolaminated plasmonic nanostructures. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we use RI-insensitive nanolaminated SERS substrates to achieve label-free Raman profiling and classification of living cancer cells with a high prediction accuracy of 96%. We envision that RI-insensitive high-performance nanolaminated SERS substrates can potentially enable label-free spatiotemporal biochemical analysis of living biological systems.

Abstract
The Raman probe plays an essential role in sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay. Here, a novel Raman probe was developed by assembling gold nanoparticles in triangular pyramid DNA (TP-Au NPs). Such probe with intense electromagnetic hot spots can provide dramatically enhanced Raman scattering. Through assembling recognition DNA on one corner of the TP-DNA, the recognition event is definite and designable. The probe was characterized through TEM, and its SERS superiority was investigated. As models, circulating tumor cells and exosomes were detected with high sensitivity and selectivity by using this probe. Meanwhile, the developed SERS probe can also perform well in real world samples.

Abstract
A colorimetric method is presented for ultrasensitive determination of adenosine. The assay is based on side-by-side self-assembly of aptamer-functionalized gold nanorods (Au NRs). It relies on the fact that the conjugation of the helper DNA predominantly occurs at the terminal ends of the Au NRs rather than at their sides. The adenosine aptamers consist of two pieces of ssDNA (termed C1 and C2) that were individually attached to the sides of Au NRs. In the presence of adenosine, it will be captured by C1 and C2 to form a stable sandwich structure. As a result, a side-to-side assembly of the Au NRs occurs. If the adenosine concentration is increased, the absorbance of the Au NRs at 742 nm gradually decreases, and the color changes from brick red to dark brown. Response is linear range in the 10 pM to 5 nM adenosine concentration range, and the detection limit is as low as 3.3 pM. Adenosine analogues such as uridine and cytidine do not interfere. The method was used to quantify adenosine in serum samples at concentrations as low as 10 pM. Graphical abstractSchematic representation of an effective colorimetric method for adenosine detection based on target adenosine-induced side-by-side self-assembly of gold nanorods (Au NRs).

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles have drawn attention to nanomedicine for many years due to their physicochemical properties, which include: good stability; biocompatibility; easy surface chemistry and superior magnetic; and last, electronic properties. All of these properties distinguish gold nanoparticles as advantageous carriers to be exploited. The challenge to develop new gold nanostructures has led to anisotropy, a new property to exploit for various medical applications: diagnostic and imaging strategies as well as therapeutic options. Gold nanorods are the most studied anisotropic gold nanoparticles because of the presence of two absorption peaks according to their longitudinal and transversal plasmon resonances. The longitudinal surface plasmonic resonance can provide the absorption in the near-infrared region and this is an important aspect of using gold nanorods for medical purposes.

Abstract
Metal nanoarchitectures fabrication based on DNA assembly has attracted a good deal of attention. DNA nanotechnology enables precise organization of nanoscale objects with extraordinary structural programmability. The spatial addressability of DNA nanostructures and sequence-dependent recognition allow functional elements to be precisely positioned; thus, novel functional materials that are difficult to produce using conventional methods could be fabricated. This review focuses on the recent development of the fabrication strategies toward manipulating the shape and morphology of metal nanoparticles and nanoassemblies based on the rational design of DNA structures. DNA-mediated metallization, including DNA-templated conductive nanowire fabrication and sequence-selective metal deposition, etc., is briefly introduced. The modifications of metal nanoparticles (NPs) with DNA and subsequent construction of heterogeneous metal nanoarchitectures are highlighted. Importantly, DNA-assembled dynamic metal nanostructures that are responsive to different stimuli are also discussed as they allow the design of smart and dynamic materials. Meanwhile, the prospects and challenges of these shape-and morphology-controlled strategies are summarized.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based single-cell analysis is an emerging approach to obtain molecular level information from molecular dynamics in a living cell. In this study, endosomal biochemical dynamics was investigated based on size and surface chemistry-dependent uptake of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on single cells over time using SERS. MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were exposed to 13 and 50 nm AuNPs and their polyadenine oligonucleotide-modified forms by controlling the order and combination of AuNPs. The average spectra obtained from 20 single cells were analyzed to study the nature of the biochemical species or processes taking place on the AuNP surfaces. The spectral changes, especially from proteins and lipids of endosomal vesicles, were observed depending on the size, surface chemistry, and combination as well as the duration of the AuNP treatment. The results demonstrate that SERS spectra are sensitive to trace biochemical changes not only the size, surface chemistry, and aggregation status of AuNPs but also the endosomal maturation steps over time, which can be simple and fast way for understanding the AuNP behavior in single cell and useful for the assisting and controlling of AuNP-based gene or drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Virus detection and analysis are of critical importance in biological fields and medicine. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has shown great promise in small molecule and even single molecule detection, and can provide fingerprint signals of molecules. Despite the powerful detection capabilities of SERS, the size discrepancy between the SERS "hot spots" (generally, <10 nm) and viruses (usually, sub-100 nm) yields poor detection reliability of viruses. Inspired by the concept of molecular imprinting, a volume-enhanced Raman scattering (VERS) substrate composed of hollow nanocones at the bottom of microbowls (HNCMB) is developed. The hollow nanocones of the resulting VERS substrates serve a twofold purpose: 1) extending the region of Raman signal enhancement from the nanocone surface (e.g., surface "hot spots") to the hollow area within the cone (e.g., volume "hot spots")-a novel method of Raman signal enhancement, and 2) directing analyte such as viruses of a wide range of sizes to those VERS "hot spots" while simultaneously increasing the surface area contributing to SERS. Using HNCMB VERS substrates, greatly improved Raman signals of single viruses are demonstrated, an achievement with important implications in disease diagnostics and monitoring, biomedical fields, as well as in clinical treatment.

Abstract
We report a solution NMR-based analysis of (16-mercaptohexadecyl)trimethylammonium bromide (MTAB) self-assembled monolayers on colloidal gold nanospheres (AuNSs) with diameters from 1.2 to 25 nm and gold nanorods (AuNRs) with aspect ratios from 1.4 to 3.9. The chemical shift analysis of the proton signals from the solvent-exposed headgroups of bound ligands suggests that the headgroups are saturated on the ligand shell as the sizes of the nanoparticles increase beyond ∼10 nm. Quantitative NMR shows that the ligand density of MTAB-AuNSs is size-dependent. Ligand density ranges from ∼3 molecules per nm2 for 25 nm particles to up to 5-6 molecules per nm2 in ∼10 nm and smaller particles for in situ measurements of bound ligands; after I2/I- treatment to etch away the gold cores, ligand density ranges from ∼2 molecules per nm2 for 25 nm particles to up to 4-5 molecules per nm2 in ∼10 nm and smaller particles. T2 relaxation analysis shows greater hydrocarbon chain ordering and less headgroup motion as the diameter of the particles increases from 1.2 nm to ∼13 nm. Molecular dynamics simulations of 4, 6, and 8 nm (11-mercaptoundecyl)trimethylammonium bromide-capped AuNSs confirm greater hydrophobic chain packing order and saturation of charged headgroups within the same spherical ligand shell at larger nanoparticle sizes and higher ligand densities. Combining the NMR studies and MD simulations, we suggest that the headgroup packing limits the ligand density, rather than the sulfur packing on the nanoparticle surface, for ∼10 nm and larger particles. For MTAB-AuNRs, no chemical shift data nor ligand density data suggest that two populations of ligands that might correspond to side-ligands and end-ligands exist; yet T2 relaxation dynamics data suggest that headgroup mobility depends on aspect ratio and absolute nanoparticle dimensions.
