Transcription-Based Amplified Colorimetric Thrombin Sensor Using Non-Crosslinking Aggregation of DNA-Modified Gold Nanoparticles.

ABSTRACT: Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been employed as colorimetric biosensors due to the color difference between their dispersed (red) and aggregated (blue) states. Although signal amplification reactions triggered by structural changes of the ligands on AuNPs have been widely used to improve measurement sensitivity, the use of ligands is limited. In this study, we designed a AuNP-based signal-amplifying sandwich biosensor, which does not require a conformational change in the ligands. Thrombin was used as a model target, which is recognized by two different probes. In the presence of the target, an extension reaction occurs as a result of hybridization of the two probes. Then RNA synthesis is started by RNA polymerase activation due to RNA promoter duplex formation. The amplified RNA drives aggregation or dispersion of the AuNPs, and a difference of the color if the AuNP solution is observed. As this detection system does not require a conformational change in the ligand, it can be generically applied to a wide range ligands.

A Schematic Colorimetric Assay for Sialic Acid Assay Based on PEG-Mediated Interparticle Crosslinking Aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Sialic acid (SA) is a well-known component of glycoproteins, which have applications in various functional processes on the cell's surface. The colorimetric is a simpler and more convenient method for measuring SA due to its low-cost apparatus and visual signal changes. This work focused on the unpredictable interparticle crosslinking aggregation of the functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in complex media. We proposed a balance of the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO)-type aggregation and molecule-based interaction method to solve this problem. Here, we report a novel colorimetric assay for the determination of SA using 4-mercaptophenyl boronic acid (4-MPBA) as an analyte's recognition molecule, and negative charge PEG400 was used to repulsive the interparticle crosslinking. The proposed sensing platform shows a linear relationship between the ratio of the absorbance intensity (A525/A660) and concentration of SA from 0.05 to 8 mM (R2 = 0.997) and a detection limit of 48 μM was observed. The novel gold-based colorimetric sensor is easy to fabricate, reproducible in its test performance and has been successfully applied for the detection of SA in biological and healthcare product samples.

Colorimetric sensor arrays for the differentiation of baijiu based on amino-acid-modified gold nanoparticles.

Project description:It is of great significance for quality control to realize the discrimination for baijiu from different brands and origins. Strong-aroma-type baijiu (SAB), one of the most important Chinese aroma-type baijiu, exhibits the largest variety and market share. In this study, we proposed colorimetric sensor arrays based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with different amino acids (AAs) to recognize the organic acids, and further distinguish different SABs. Three representative AAs, namely methionine (Met), tryptophan (Trp), and histidine (His), were selected to modify the AuNPs surface. The investigation of the effect of the main ingredients of SAB on AA@AuNPs aggregation confirmed that this aggregation mainly resulted from organic acids. Moreover, this aggregation was successfully used for differentiating 11 organic acids. Different pH conditions can not only cause changes of the content of organic acids in baijiu, but also disrupt the balance among flavor substances of baijiu to some extent. Consequently, the AA@AuNPs arrays under two pH conditions have been successfully applied to distinguish 14 kinds of SABs from different brands and origins. The proposed colorimetric sensor method is simple, rapid, and visualized and provides a potential application prospect for the quality control of baijiu and other alcoholic beverages.

Colorimetric Immunosensor by Aggregation of Photochemically Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A colorimetric immunosensor based on local surface plasmon resonance by gold nanoparticles is presented, and its application for the detection of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) is demonstrated. The color change of the colloidal solution is produced by nanoparticle aggregation, a process that can be tuned by the presence of the analyte once the nanoparticles are functionalized. In comparison to common functionalization techniques, the procedure described here is simpler, low-cost, and effective in binding antibodies upright on the gold surface. The dose-response curve is similar to that resulting in typical immunoassay platforms and is satisfactorily described by the proposed theoretical model. Human IgG at concentration levels of few hundreds of nanograms per milliliter can be detected by eyes within a few minutes, thereby making the colorimetric immunosensor proposed here a powerful tool in several areas, with urine test in medical diagnostics being the most immediate.

A Transparency Sheet-Based Colorimetric Device for Simple Determination of Calcium Ions Using Induced Aggregation of Modified Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:A simple and novel transparency sheet-based colorimetric detection device using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified by 4-Amino-6-hydroxy-2-mercaptopyrimidine monohydrate (AHMP) was fabricated and developed for the determination of calcium ions (Ca2+). The detection was based on a colorimetric reaction as a result of the aggregation of modified AuNPs induced by Ca2+ due to the ability to form strong electrostatic interactions between positively charged Ca2+ and negatively charged modified AuNPs. Probe solution changes color from red to blue in the presence of Ca2+ and can be observed by the naked eyes. To verify the complete self-assembly of the AHMP onto the AuNP surface, the modified AuNPs were characterized using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements. Under optimal conditions, a quantitative linearity was 10 to 100 ppm (R2 = 0.9877) with a detection limit of 3.05 ppm. The results obtained by the developed method were in good agreement with standard atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) results and demonstrated that this method could reliably measure Ca2+. Overall, this novel alternative approach presents a low-cost, simple, sensitive, rapid, and promising device for the detection of Ca2+.

Unusual sequence length-dependent gold nanoparticles aggregation of the ssDNA sticky end and its application for enzyme-free and signal amplified colorimetric DNA detection.

Project description:It is known that the adsorption of short single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) on unmodified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is much faster than that for long ssDNA, and thus leads to length-dependent AuNPs aggregation after addition of salt, the color of the solutions sequentially changed from red to blue in accordance with the increase of ssDNA length. However, we found herein that the ssDNA sticky end of hairpin DNA exhibited a completely different adsorption behavior compared to ssDNA, an inverse blue-to-red color variation was observed in the colloid solution with the increase of sticky end length when the length is within a certain range. This unusual sequence length-dependent AuNPs aggregation might be ascribed to the effect of the stem of hairpin DNA. On the basis of this unique phenomenon and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) based signal amplification, a novel AuNPs-based colorimetric DNA assay with picomolar sensitivity and specificity was developed. This unusual sequence length-dependent AuNPs aggregation of the ssDNA sticky end introduces a new direction for the AuNPs-based colorimetric assays.

Amplified single base-pair mismatch detection via aggregation of exonuclease-sheared gold nanoparticles.

Project description: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 15 min. SNP detection is performed in a single tube with one set of DNA probe-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), a single exonuclease (Exo III), and the target in question. Exo III's apurinic endonucleolytic activity differentially processes hybrid duplexes between the AuNP-bound probe and DNA targets that are perfectly matched or contain a single-base mismatch. For perfectly matched targets, Exo III's exonuclease activity facilitates a process of target recycling that rapidly shears DNA probes from the particles, generating an AuNP aggregation-induced color change, whereas no such change occurs for mismatched targets. This color change is easily observed with as little as 2 nM of target, 100-fold lower than the target concentration required for reliable naked eye observation with unmodified AuNPs in well-optimized reaction conditions. We further demonstrate that this system can effectively discriminate a range of different mismatches.

This method is proved to be highly sensitive and selective. Moreover, it has been successfully applied to determine human blood serum samples, the results of which demonstrate great potential practical utility with simple operations.

Detection of Histamine Based on Gold Nanoparticles with Dual Sensor System of Colorimetric and Fluorescence.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs), with the dual sensor system of colorimetric and fluorescence responses, were developed for the determination of histamine as a spoilage monitor for distinguishing lifetime and freshness of aquatic products. Upon addition of histamine, the absorption coefficient orders of magnitude via the interaction of free electrons and photons were affected, and the characteristic absorption peak of Au-NPs was red-shifted from 520 nm to 664 nm. Meanwhile, the large amino groups in the networks of histamine-Au-NPs with high molecular orbital exhibited excellent fluorescence behavior at 415 nm. Au-NPs offered a range of 0.001-10.0 μM and 0.01-1.0 μM with a limit of detection of 0.87 nM and 2.04 nM by UV-vis and fluorescence spectrum assay, respectively. Moreover, Au-NPs could be used to semiquantitatively analyze histamine with the naked eye, since the significant colorimetric and fluorescence reaction of Au-NPs solution that coincided with different concentrations of histamine can be observed as the histamine concentration was 0.1-1.0 μM. Both of the dual-sensor systems of Au-NPs were successfully applied to the quantitative analysis of histamine in fresh salmon muscle, suggesting the simplicity and rapidity in the dual detection approaches of Au-NPs might be suitable for spoilage assay of aquatic food to ensure food safety.

Robust colorimetric detection based on the anti-aggregation of gold nanoparticles for bromide in rice samples.

Project description:Inorganic bromide (Br-) is an important contaminant ion as it can originate from the overuse of illegal methyl bromide as a fumigant in stored rice samples. Herein, we developed a simple and highly sensitive colorimetric sensor for bromide ion detection in rice samples. The sensor is based on the anti-aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by Br- in the presence of Cr3+, which made the method more selective than other typical aggregations of nanoparticles. The AuNPs underwent an aggregation process as a result of the coordination of Cr3+ and the carboxylate group of a citrate ion stabilized the AuNPs, resulting in a red-to-blue color change. When Br- was pre-mixed with the AuNPs and Cr3+ was added, the solution color changed from blue to red with an increase in the Br- concentration. The anti-aggregation process can be detected with the naked eye and monitored using UV-vis spectrophotometry. The linear calibration curve ranged between 0.31 and 3.75 μM Br- with a low LOD and LOQ of 0.04 and 0.13 μM. The recovery was excellent, ranging from 79.9-92.2% with an RSD of less than 4.0%. The good inter-day and intra-day precisions were 2.9-6.4% and 3.1-7.1%, respectively. The developed sensor has proved to provide a robust method for Br- detection in rice samples.
