Green synthesis of curcumin conjugated nanosilver for the applications in nucleic acid sensing and anti-bacterial activity

- Curcumin interacts with Ag+ to synthesize curcumin conjugated silver nanoparticles.
- Curcumin conjugated Ag NPs are spherical and crystalline in nature with a mean crystalline size of 13.27 nm.
- The production of curcumin conjugated Ag NPs follows first order kinetics and linearly increases with an increase in concentration of curcumin.
- Curcumin conjugated silver nanoparticles have anti-bacterial activities.
- Curcumin conjugated silver nanoparticles determine nucleic acid in the concentration range 100-1000 ng/mL.
