Fluorescent DNA-AgNCs have emerged as an alternative to standard emitters because of their unique properties: high fluorescent quantum yield, photostability, a broad pallet of colors (blue to near-IR), and the fact that their properties are easily modulated by the DNA sequence and environment. Applications as gene, ion, or small-molecule sensors have been reported.
