“…As reported, R is 16.3 nm and d antiCD71 is 5.2 nm, according to eqs and ; using the triangle Pythagorean theorem, we could easily obtain the r 0TA value for different sizes of AuNP and FAM pairs. Also, according to the report, the length of each base pair is about 0.43 nm, which means that with the addition of each base, the FAM dye that is labeled on XQ-2d may move 0.43 nm toward the AuNP surface when the angular deviation is not considered. At this moment, we could calculate the r value of 1TA, 2TA, and 3TA, i.e., r 1TA , r 2TA , and r 3TA , respectively.…”
