Abstract

On-wire lithography is used to synthesize a new nanostructure composed of a gold-polypyrrole segment and gold nanodisk pairs for parallel electrical and spectroscopic readout (see image). As proof-of-concept, the binding of telo- merase to surface-functionalized oligo- nucleotide receptors and subsequent elongation of the oligonucleotides are demonstrated by parallel electrical and spectroscopic measurements.
