Figure 1: Schematics for PCR assembly of Au NRs.
From: Attomolar DNA detection with chiral nanorod assemblies

(a) PCR replication procedure in which a DNA strand can be ampilified using primer, template DNA, taq plus polymerase and four different DNA bases. (b) PCR-based gold NRs ETE assembly. (c) PCR-based gold NRs SBS assembly with inter-NR gap d; in the bottom part of the panel the DNA chains were removed for clarity.
