Polyvalent oligonucleotide gold nanoparticle conjugates have unique fundamental properties including distance-dependent plasmon coupling, enhanced binding affinity, and the ability to enter cells and resist enzymatic degradation. Stability in the presence of enzymes is a key consideration for therapeutic uses; however the manner and mechanism by which such nanoparticles are able to resist enzymatic degradation is unknown. Here, we quantify the enhanced stability of polyvalent gold oligonucleotid ...[more]
