Abstract
Label-free fluorescent detection of Hg(2+) has been realized via quenching of fluorescence of graphene oxide (GO). The water-soluble GO sheets, which are functionalized with single-stranded DNA aptamer, exhibit strong fluorescence emission at 600 nm under the excitation of 488 nm in the absence of Hg(2+) ions. When Hg(2+) ions appear in the aqueous solution, Hg(2+) ions are sandwiched between the hairpin-shaped double-stranded DNA due to the...
