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 ...
متن کاملEnzyme-regulated unmodified gold nanoparticle aggregation: a label free colorimetric assay for rapid and sensitive detection of adenosine deaminase activity and inhibition.
Based on enzyme-regulated unmodified gold nanoparticle aggregation, a visual and homogeneous assay of adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity without any other coupling enzymes, aptamers or additional modifications has been developed. The present strategy is simple, cost-effective, high throughput, selective and sensitive for ADA with a detection limit of 0.8227 U L(-1).
متن کاملEnhanced 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...
متن کاملThe use of gold nanoparticle aggregation for DNA computing and logic-based biomolecular detection.
The use of DNA molecules as a physical computational material has attracted much interest, especially in the area of DNA computing. DNAs are also useful for logical control and analysis of biological systems if efficient visualization methods are available. Here we present a quick and simple visualization technique that displays the results of the DNA computing process based on a colorimetric c...
