Abstract

By assembling nanotweezers with ATP-splitting aptamers on gold nanorods (AuT123L), we constructed a near-infrared-activated ATP sensing device that could time-controllably image ATP levels in living cells. By replacing the aptamers on the nanotweezers, the nanoplatform can be applied to other important biomolecules, opening up more possibilities for the study of time controllable nanodevices.
