▎ 摘　　要

Since graphene oxide-silver nanoparticles (GO-AgNPs) have special affinities to DNA. it become increasingly important in fields of biological analysis in which GO-AgNPs nanocomposites universally functioned as a quencher. In this paper, GO-AgNPs nanocomposites with different GO to AgNPs ratios were synthesized as a fluorescence quencher to interact with DNA labeled by methylene blue (MB). The results showed that the fluorescence intensity of DNA-MB system decreased with the increasing of GO-AgNPs nanocomposites concentration. The quenching phenomenon of DNA-MB by AgNPs and GO was not a simple additive effect but a synergistic effect. The quenching efficiency of synthesized GO-AgNPs nanocomposites with different ratios (1:1. 1:3, 1:5, 1:10) increased with the decrease of GO/Ag ratio. Thermodynamic analysis was employed to investigate the interaction of GO-AgNPs and DNA-MB, it can be concluded that the intermolecular force between GO-AgNPs and DNA-MB was hydrogen bonding. Our works will provide important theoretical and experimental bases for fluorescence sensing of DNA. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
