Abstract:	This report describes a Triton X-100-assisted method to assemble small Au nanoparticles by DNA hybridization. The nonspecific adsorption of oligonucleotides, which is most prevalent on small Au nanoparticle surface and interferes with the hybridization of complementary sequences, is overcome by shielding the Au nanoparticle with a Triton X-100 layer. Amine-modified oligonucleotides, but not thiol-modified oligonucleotides, are able to penetrate the X-100 shell to enable the hybridization of complementary DNA sequences.
