Parallel or angle parked : Gold nanorods (see picture) were selectively modified either on the sides or ends using complementary microcystin (MC‐LR) antibody and antigen (blue). Fast detection of MC‐LR (green) was successfully achieved with these assemblies, and both sensitivity and detection ranges were markedly better for the end‐to‐end motif (right) than the side‐to‐side variant (left).
