Assembling and ordering nanomaterials into desirable patterns are considerably significant,since the properties of nanomaterials depend not only on the size and shape,but also on the spatial arrangement among the collective building blocks.In this work,the DNA self-assembly technology of hybridization chain reaction(HCR) provided a convenient method to yield long double-strand DNA(dsDNA) to install gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) into one dimensional assembly along the skeleton of dsDNA.Interestingly,the tunable length of AuNPs assemblies along dsDNA chain could be achieved by adjusting the reaction time of HCR,which is based on the formation of covalent bond between Au and the-SH group of DNA.Compared with weak light scattering of single AuNP,these AuNPs assemblies could be clearly imaged under the dark field microscopy,indicating that the light scattering was greatly improved after assembling.
