Electrogenerated chemiluminescence peptide-based biosensing method for cardiac troponin I using peptide-integrating Ru(bpy)3 2+-functionalized gold nanoparticles as nanoprobe

Peptide ligation catalyzed by functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Label-free electrochemiluminescence immunosensor for cardiac troponin I using luminol functionalized gold nanoparticles as a sensing platform.

A simple and sensitive label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor based on the use of luminol functionalized gold nanoparticles (luminol-AuNPs) as antibody carriers and sensing platform is described for detecting the acute myocardial infarction biomarker cTnI. The ECL immunosensor was fabricated by the assembly of luminol-AuNPs conjugated with biotinylated antibodies against cTnI (b...

Exocytosis of peptide functionalized gold nanoparticles in endothelial cells.

We present the exocytosis profile of two types of peptide-coated nanoparticles, which have similar charge and size but different functionality. While one kind of particles appears to progressively exocytose, the other one has a more complex profile, suggesting that some of the particles are re-uptaken by the cells. Both types of particles retain their colloidal stability after exocytosis.

Spider Toxin Peptide Lycosin-I Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for in vivo Tumor Targeting and Therapy

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are commonly utilized for intracellular delivery of functional materials to circumvent biomembrane barrier. However, further application of CPPs is hindered by lacking selectivity toward targeted cells. The spider venom peptide, lycosin-I, is a CPP with potent cytotoxicity to cancer cells, which might enable lycosin-I to deliver functional materials into cancer ...

Development of an Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Biosensor using Carboxylic acid-functionalized MWCNT and Au Nanoparticles

A COOH-F-MWCNT-Nafion-Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)-Au-ADH electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) electrode using COOH-functionalized MWCNT (COOH-F-MWCNT) and Au nanoparticles synthesized by the radiation method was fabricated for ethanol sensing. A higher sensing efficiency for ethanol for the ECL biosensor prepared by PAAc-g-MWCNT was measured compared to that of the ECL biosensor prepared by PMAc-g-MWCN...
