Abstract

A material for DNA-based nanoelectronic devices is presented by the authors in the form of colloidal Pt/DNA composites obtained by chemical reduction of platinated DNA with sodium borohydride. The Pt particles can be enlarged by treating the composites with an electroless plating solution. The Figure shows Pt/DNA subjected to the plating process and deposited on mica.
