Assessing Mg2+resistance of DDZ-tethered AuNPs. DDZ-M tethered AuNPs were incubated with increasing concentrations of MgCl2 (0 to 20 mM) as described in Methods. Following a 30 minute incubation period at room temperature (~25°C), UV/Vis spectrophotometry and photography were performed. These results demonstrate that DNAzyme conjugated AuNP aggregation is not driven by 10 mM MgCl2, which is used in all detection assays described in this report.
