Chem. 11:2000;289-291 Describes a di-thiol group used to anchor oligonucleotides to gold PRPs. The resultant conjugates have improved stability relative to conjugates prepared with mono-thiol oligonucleotides.

Nucleic Acids Res. 30:2002;1558-1562 Describes a tri-thiol-capped oligonucleotide gold PRP conjugate that has greater stability than either the mono- or di-thiol oligonucleotide gold PRP conjugates. Importantly, this anchoring molecule can stabilize the larger diameter (>50 nm) gold PRPs which can be viewed individually.
