We present a label-free, low cost and miniatured biosensing platform based on the disassembly of core-satellite plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies. The rapid and selective detection of an exemplary nucleic acid biomarker, has-miRNA-210-3p, was achieved via the strand displacement nucleic acid reaction. Target binding leads to dehybridization of the DNA linkers and changes in the scattering properties of nanostructures as monitored by darkfield microscopy. We demonstrate the ability to detect microRNA expunged from single cells and the potential to multiplex discrete assemblies to enable diverse biological applicability. The work may help translate the applicability of microRNA as diagnostic biomarkers, quantitate their abundance in the microenvironment, and facilitate the study of their correlation or causation to other biomolecules at the single-cell level.

Abstract Chiral linear assemblies of plasmonic nanoparticles with chiral optical activity often show low asymmetry factors. Systematic understanding of the structure-property relationship in these systems must be improved to facilitate rational design of their chiroptical response. Here we study the effect of large-area interparticle gaps in chiral linear nanoparticle assemblies on their chiroptical properties using a tetrahelix structure formed by a linear face-to-face assembly of nanoscale Au tetrahedra. Using finite-difference time-domain and finite element methods, we performed in-depth evaluation of the extinction spectra and electric field distribution in the tetrahelix structure and its dependence on various geometric parameters. The reported structure supports various plasmonic modes, one of which shows a strong incident light handedness selectivity that is associated with large face-to-face junctions. This works highlights the importance of gap engineering in chiral plasmonic assemblies to achieve g-factors greater than 1 and produce structures with a handedness-selective optical response.
