Abstract: 

We discuss optical properties of single ог aggregated colloidal-gold conjugates that саn be fabricated by adsorption of a biopolymer onto the surface of nanoparticles. To simulate extinction аnd scattering of light by such structures, we apply the generalized multisphere Mie solution and the discrete dipole approximation along with а computer model of cluster-cluster aggregation. Our consideration includes the following topics: statistical and orientational averaging of optical observables; optical effects related to the chain-like structures; effects оf polymer coating and interparticle spacing; simulation оf kinetic changes in the optical properties of aggregated sols formed during biospecific binding; modification оf the exact multipole approach for the case of two-layered monomers. In the rest оf this paper, we give а short review of our experimental work оn the topic (including biomedical applications) and provide experimental examples concerning the optical monitoring of biospecific interactions оn а nanometer scale.
