tRNA as stabilizing matrix for fluorescent silver clusters: photophysical properties and IR study

TL;DR

This study synthesizes fluorescent silver clusters on tRNA, revealing their photophysical properties and binding sites through spectroscopic analysis, marking the first experimental investigation of such complexes.

Contribution

First experimental synthesis and characterization of fluorescent silver clusters stabilized by tRNA, including photophysical properties and binding site analysis.

Findings

Complexes exhibit two emission regions in visible spectrum

FTIR spectroscopy suggests possible binding sites

First experimental study of tRNA-stabilized silver clusters

Abstract

In this experimental study fluorescent silver clusters on tRNA matrix were synthesized for the first time. Obtained complexes have two emission regions in visible part of spectrum. We have also studied our complexes using FTIR spectroscopy. The possible binding sites of the clusters have been suggested.
