Résumé
Herein, we report a novel approach for the design of a colorimetric aptasensor based on functionalized gold nanoparticle probes. The approach relies on the conjugation of nanoparticles by two functional DNA and RNA hairpins that engage specific kissing (loop-loop) interactions in response to the addition of a small analyte ligand, leading to the particle aggregation and then red-to-purple colour change of the colloidal solution
