چکیده

Dark field imaging was employed to visualize and quantify complementary DNA-induced gold nanoparticle aggregation at the single-particle level, with a detection limit of 100 fM DNA, which allows the highly sensitive detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Results suggested that the aggregation process is consistent with the cluster-cluster model.

Ultrafast colorimetric determination of predominant protein structure evolution with gold nanoplasmonic particles.

The intracellular and extracellular accumulation of disordered proteins and aggregated proteins occurs in many protein conformational diseases, such as aging-related neurodegeneration and alcoholic liver diseases. However, the conventional methods to study protein structural changes are limited for the rapid detection and monitoring of protein aggregation because of long incubation times (i.e.,...

Spectrophotometric Determination of 4-Hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine Based on Aggregation of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles

We report herein the development of a highly sensitive colorimetric method for the detection of 4-hydroxy-2-mercapto-6-methylpyrimidine (MTU) which acts as an anti-thyroid drug utilizing citrate capped gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs). This thiol-containing molecule exhibits intriguing affinity with Au-NPs. The reactivity involves the displacement of the citrate shell by the thiolate shell followed ...

Enhanced DNA sensing via catalytic aggregation of gold nanoparticles.

A catalytic colorimetric detection scheme that incorporates a DNA-based hybridization chain reaction into gold nanoparticles was designed and tested. While direct aggregation forms an inter-particle linkage from only one target DNA strand, catalytic aggregation forms multiple linkages from a single target DNA strand. Gold nanoparticles were functionalized with thiol-modified DNA strands capable...
