A) A divalent linker DNA strand hybridizes with DNA-AuNPs when the temperature is raised above the LCST of pNIPAM, causing AuNP assembly. A further increase in temperature leads to the melting of double-stranded DNA and re-dispersion of the aggregates. B) UV-Vis temperature scan is performed at 0.5 °C /min, monitoring AuNP absorption at 524 nm.
