Cover Picture: Rapid Naked‐Eye Discrimination of Cytochrome P450 Genetic Polymorphism through Non‐Crosslinking Aggregation of DNA‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles (ChemistryOpen 6/2016)

چکیده
The Front Cover picture shows a colorimetric single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method using spontaneous aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs). Simple and rapid SNP genotyping of the human cytochrome P450 2C19 monooxygenase gene is reported. Allele-specific single-base primer extension using a fragment of the gene isolated from human hair roots, followed by salt-induced aggregation of DNA-AuNPs, results in a rapid color change from red to blue or no color change, thereby allowing SNP discrimination by the naked eye. More information can be found in the Communication by T. Takarada and co-workers on page 508 in Issue 6, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/open.201600110).

متن کاملRapid naked-eye detection of mercury ions based on non-crosslinking aggregation of double-stranded DNA-carrying gold nanoparticles.
Colorimetric detection of mercury ions (Hg(2+)) with the naked eye was accomplished within 1 min by a combination of non-crosslinking aggregation of double-stranded DNA-carrying gold nanoparticles and complex formation of thymine-Hg(2+)-thymine.
متن کاملA direct detection of Escherichia coli genomic DNA using gold nanoprobes
BACKGROUND In situation like diagnosis of clinical and forensic samples there exists a need for highly sensitive, rapid and specific DNA detection methods. Though conventional DNA amplification using PCR can provide fast results, it is not widely practised in diagnostic laboratories partially because it requires skilled personnel and expensive equipment. To overcome these limitations nanopartic...
متن کاملCover Picture: Gold Nanoparticles Decorated with Sialic Acid Terminated Bi‐antennary N‐Glycans for the Detection of Influenza Virus at Nanomolar Concentrations (ChemistryOpen 6/2015)
The cover picture shows the isolation of complex bi-antennary oligosaccharides from hens' eggs and their conjugation to gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles carrying these sugars can then bind to specific receptors (hemagglutinin) on the surface of the influenza virus, causing particle aggregation, which changes their spectroscopic properties. Upon aggregation, they undergo a red-shift in the...
متن کاملAmplified Single Base-Pair Mismatch Detection via Aggregation of Exonuclease-Sheared Gold Nanoparticles
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection is important for early diagnosis, clinical prognostics, and disease prevention, and a rapid and sensitive low-cost SNP detection assay would be valuable for resource-limited clinical settings. We present a simple platform that enables sensitive, naked-eye detection of SNPs with minimal reagent and equipment requirements at room temperature within 1...
