Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jul 28;47(28):7944-6. doi: 10.1039/c1cc11362c. Epub 2011 Apr 20.

Abstract

Functionalization of light-emitting poly(3-methylthiophene) (P3MT) nanowires (NWs) with probe-DNA (p-DNA) and their label-free recognition of target-DNA (t-DNA) were correlated quantitatively with both the photoluminescence (PL) color and intensity of P3MT NWs.
