TEMPO-Cellulose Nanocrystal-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for Colorimetric Detection of Pathogenic DNA.

ABSTRACT: Nanocellulose-assisted gold nanoparticles are considered promising materials for developing eco-friendly diagnostic tools for biosensing applications. In this study, we synthesized 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanocrystal (TEMPO-CNC)-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the colorimetric detection of unamplified pathogenic DNA oligomers of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. The fabricated TEMPO-CNC-AuNPs (TC-AuNPs) were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. The average diameter of the synthesized AuNPs was approximately 30 nm. The aqueous solution of TC-AuNPs was stable and exhibited an absorption peak at 520 nm. The chemical interaction between TC-AuNPs and the surface charge of the target and non-target DNA determined the colorimetric differences under ionic conditions. A dramatic color change (red → blue) was observed in the TC-AuNP solution with the target DNA under ionic conditions due to the aggregation of AuNPs. However, no observable color change occurred in the TC-AuNP solution with the non-target DNA under similar conditions owing to the better shielding effects of the charged moieties. The colorimetric detection limit of the TC-AuNPs was demonstrated to be as low as 20 fM pathogenic DNA. Therefore, the use of TEMPO-oxidized CNC-capped AuNPs is efficient and straightforward as a biosensor for the colorimetric detection of pathogenic DNA.

Colorimetric Detection of Organophosphate Pesticides Based on Acetylcholinesterase and Cysteamine Capped Gold Nanoparticles as Nanozyme.

Project description:Organophosphates (OPs) are neurotoxic agents also used as pesticides that can permanently block the active site of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE). A robust and sensitive detection system of OPs utilising the enzyme mimic potential of the cysteamine capped gold nanoparticles (C-AuNPs) was developed. The detection assay was performed by stepwise addition of AChE, parathion ethyl (PE)-a candidate OP, acetylcholine chloride (ACh), C-AuNPs, and 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the buffer solution. The whole sensing protocol completes in 30-40 min, including both incubations. The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results indicated that the NPs are spherical and have an average size of 13.24 nm. The monomers of C-AuNPs exhibited intense catalytic activity (nanozyme) for the oxidization of TMB, revealed by the production of instant blue colour and confirmed by a sharp peak at 652 nm. The proposed biosensor's detection limit and linear ranges were 5.8 ng·mL-1 and 11.6-92.8 ng·mL-1, respectively, for PE. The results strongly advocate that the suggested facile colorimetric biosensor may provide an excellent platform for on-site monitoring of OPs.

Chitosan-capped gold nanoparticles for selective and colorimetric sensing of heparin.

Project description:In this contribution, novel chitosan-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by mixing chitosan with citrate-reductive AuNPs under appropriate conditions. The as-prepared chitosan-stabilized AuNPs were positively charged and highly stably dispersed in aqueous solution. They exhibited weak resonance light scattering (RLS) intensity and a wine red color. In addition, the chitosan-stabilized AuNPs were successfully utilized as novel sensitive probes for the detection of heparin for the first time. It was found that the addition of heparin induced a strong increase of RLS intensity for AuNPs and the color change from red to blue. The increase in RLS intensity and the color change of chitosan-stabilized AuNPs caused by heparin allowed the sensitive detection of heparin in the range of 0.2-60 ?M (~6.7 U/mL). The detection limit for heparin is 0.8 ?M at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The present sensor for heparin detection possessed a low detection limit and wide linear range. Additionally, the proposed method was also applied to the detection of heparin in biological media with satisfactory results.

Enhancement of the Peroxidase-Like Activity of Iodine-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for the Colorimetric Detection of Biothiols.

Project description:A colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of biothiols, based on the peroxidase-like activity of iodine-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These AuNPs show a synergetic effect in the form of peroxidase-mimicking activity at the interface of AuNPs, while free AuNPs and iodine alone have weak catalytic properties. Thus, iodine-capped AuNPs possess good intrinsic enzymatic activity and trigger the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), leading to a change in color from colorless to yellow. When added to solution, biothiols, such as cysteine, strongly bind to the interface of AuNPs via gold-thiol bonds, inhibiting the catalytic activity of AuNPs, resulting in a decrease in oxidized TMB. Using this strategy, cysteine could be linearly determined, at a wide range of concentrations (0.5 to 20 ?M), with a detection limit of 0.5 ?M using UV-Vis spectroscopy. This method was applied for the detection of cysteine in diluted human urine.

Resorcinol Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles for Formaldehyde Colorimetric Detection.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles functionalized with resorcinol moieties have been prepared and used for detecting formaldehyde both in solution and gas phases. The detection mechanism is based on the color change of the probe upon the aggregation of the nanoparticles induced by the polymerization of the resorcinol moieties in the presence of formaldehyde. A limit of detection of 0.5 ppm in solution has been determined. The probe can be deployed for the detection of formaldehyde emissions from composite wood boards.

Gold Nanoparticles as Colorimetric Sensors for the Detection of DNA Bases and Related Compounds.

Project description:Results regarding interaction of colloidal gold solutions with nucleobases, including uracil (U), as well as its sulfur derivatives, 2-thiouracil (2TU) and 4-thiouracil (4TU), cytosine (C), adenine (A), and guanine (G), as well as urea and thiourea (TU), are reported. Anionic stabilized citrate gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by reducing the tetrachloroaurate (III) trihydrate with trisodium citrate. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band was used in the characterization of synthesized AuNPs, as well as transmission electron microscope (TEM) imaging, which was used in the characterization of dispersed and aggregated gold nanoparticles. Interactions of nucleobases with the gold surface was analyzed by following the plasmon absorbance band red shift of the AuNPs. The sulfur-containing compounds adsorbed to the nanoparticle surfaces by chemisorption-type interactions; with TU and 4TU, the process is accompanied by a sudden change in color; in contrast, 2TU forms stable functionalized gold nanoparticles. Urea and U do not adsorb to nanoparticle surfaces, but the other heterocyclic bases containing nitrogen interact effectively with the gold surface, causing the assembly of nanoparticles, even though the interparticle self-aggregation process was slower than that mediated by either TU or 4TU. The method is efficient in the colorimetric detection of nucleobases and derivatives at concentration levels on the order of 1 µM.

Highly Sensitive and Selective Colorimetric Detection of Methylmercury Based on DNA Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH?Hg?) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH?Hg?, which was used to capture and separate CH?Hg? by centrifugation. It was found that the CH?Hg? reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H?O? was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH?Hg? with a linear range of 10?200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH?Hg? detection in environmental samples.

Highly sensitive colorimetric detection of 17β-estradiol using split DNA aptamers immobilized on unmodified gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Gold nanoparticle (AuNP) based colorimetric aptasensor have been developed for many analytes recently largely because of the ease of detection, high sensitivity, and potential for high-throughput analysis. Most of the target aptamers for detection have short sequences. However, the approach shows poor performance in terms of detection sensitivity for most of the long-sequence aptamers. To address this problem, for the first time, we split the 76 mer aptamer of 17β-estradiol into two short pieces to improve the AuNP based colorimetric sensitivity. Our results showed that the split P1 + P2 still retained the original 76 mer aptamer's affinity and specificity but increased the detection limit by 10-fold, demonstrating that as low as 0.1 ng/mL 17β-estradiol could be detected. The increased sensitivity may be caused by lower aptamer adsorption concentration and a lower affinity to the AuNPs of a short single-strand DNA (ssDNA) sequence. Our study provided a new way to use long-sequence aptamers to develop a highly sensitive AuNP-based colorimetric aptasensor.

Colorimetric detection of DNA, small molecules, proteins, and ions using unmodified gold nanoparticles and conjugated polyelectrolytes.

Project description:We have demonstrated a novel sensing strategy employing single-stranded probe DNA, unmodified gold nanoparticles, and a positively charged, water-soluble conjugated polyelectrolyte to detect a broad range of targets including nucleic acid (DNA) sequences, proteins, small molecules, and inorganic ions. This nearly "universal" biosensor approach is based on the observation that, while the conjugated polyelectrolyte specifically inhibits the ability of single-stranded DNA to prevent the aggregation of gold-nanoparticles, no such inhibition is observed with double-stranded or otherwise "folded" DNA structures. Colorimetric assays employing this mechanism for the detection of hybridization are sensitive and convenient--picomolar concentrations of target DNA are readily detected with the naked eye, and the sensor works even when challenged with complex sample matrices such as blood serum. Likewise, by employing the binding-induced folding or association of aptamers we have generalized the approach to the specific and convenient detection of proteins, small molecules, and inorganic ions. Finally, this new biosensor approach is quite straightforward and can be completed in minutes without significant equipment or training overhead.

Facile synthesis of antibiotic-functionalized gold nanoparticles for colorimetric bacterial detection.

Project description:The development of quick and efficient methods for the detection of pathogenic bacteria is urgently needed for the diagnosis of infectious diseases and the control of microbiological contamination in global waterways, potable water sources and the food industry. This contribution will describe the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and their conjugation to broad spectrum, polypeptide and β-lactam antibiotics that function as both reducing agents and surface protectants (ATB@AuNP). Nanoparticle colloids examined using transmission electron microscopy are generally spherical in shape and range from 2-50 nm in size. Dynamic light scattering and infrared spectroscopy were also used to confirm encapsulation of the AuNP surface by antibiotic molecules. ATB@AuNP were then used to detect 3 common pathogenic bacterial species: Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. The colour of the AuNP colloid was monitored visually and using UV-visible spectroscopy. A red shift of the UV visible absorbance and a visible colour change following introduction of each pathogen is indicative of ATB binding to the bacteria surface, ascribed to AuNP agglomeration. This work demonstrates that ATB@AuNP may be an efficient and high throughput tool for the rapid detection of common bacterial contaminants.

Dual-Surfactant-Capped Ag Nanoparticles as a Highly Selective and Sensitive Colorimetric Sensor for Citrate Detection.

Project description:A colorimetric sensor for the detection of citrate ions is reported here using dual-surfactant-capped Ag nanoparticles (dual-AgNP sensor). A mixture of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and a newly prepared gemini nonionic (GFEO) surfactant was used as a capping agent to synthesize dual-surfactant-capped Ag NPs for selective and sensitive citrate detection. The GFEO surfactant was designed with a specific chemical structure to provide strong binding with citrate for selective and sensitive detection. The developed dual-AgNP sensor showed extremely high selectivity toward citrate even in the presence of interfering species. Quantitative detection of citrate was carried out based on the changes in UV-vis absorbance and naked-eye readout. After optimization, the dual-AgNP sensor exhibited a visual detection limit of 25 μM and a low limit of detection of 4.05 nM with a UV-vis spectrometer. The developed citrate sensor performed well with a urine sample, with a high recovery of 99.6%. The prepared solution sensor was constructed on a paper-based analytical device.
