The interaction of cadmium ions and phosphorothioate oligonucleotides G10 (PS-oligoG10) was studied by UV–visible and Raman spectroscopies. It is found that the addition of Cd2+ can destroy the hydrogen bonds between guanine–guanine bases of PS-oligoG10 and induce the bending of PS-oligoG10 through coordination of Cd2+ with its phosphate groups. The bent PS-oligoG10/Cd2+ complex is observed as a nanosphere with a diameter of about 2 nm as shown by TEM.
