In this novel approach to the metallization of DNA, the metal particles are not prepared in advance, but on the DNA strands themselves—the DNA is activated with palladium cations, which are then reduced to initiate nucleation and growth of the palladium clusters. This results in the formation of "nanowires" (see Figure). Citing Literature Volume12, Issue7April, 2000Pages 507-510 RelatedInformation
