Linker-mediated binding of multivalent nanoparticles: towards superselective and ultrasensitive biomarker detectio

In this talk, I will talk about our recently developed theoretical framework for linker-mediated binding of multivalent nanoparticles, which we found to be both superselective and ultrasensitive [1]. This suggests a new possibility of designing multivalent linkers to realize ultrasensitive biomarker detectors.
