Rapid naked-eye detection of mercury ions based on non-crosslinking aggregation of double-stranded DNA-carrying gold nanoparticles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Colorimetric detection of UV light-induced single-strand DNA breaks using gold nanoparticles.
We developed a colorimetric method to specifically detect single-strand DNA breaks using gold nanoparticles. In our assay, broken DNA cannot stabilize gold nanoparticles to prevent salt-induced aggregation as good as intact DNA can, and this effect can be easily observed with the naked eye as a red-to-purple color change.
متن کاملColorimetric Detection of Lead Ion Based on Gold Nanoparticles and Lead-Stabilized G-Quartet Formation
In this report, we present a method for the detection of Pb2+ based on the different adsorption capacity on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) between ssDNA (single-stranded DNA) and G-quartet. In the absence of Pb2+, the DNA oligonucleotides probe, which is guanine-rich ssDNA, can be adsorbed on the surface of AuNPs protecting them from aggregation. After adding Pb2+, the DNA oligonucle...
متن کاملColorimetric detection of DNA, small molecules, proteins, and ions using unmodified gold nanoparticles and conjugated polyelectrolytes.
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 conjuga...
متن کاملCover Picture: Rapid Naked‐Eye Discrimination of Cytochrome P450 Genetic Polymorphism through Non‐Crosslinking Aggregation of DNA‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles (ChemistryOpen 6/2016)
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 sal...

The front cover artwork is provided by the group of Tohru Takarada at RIKEN (Japan). The image shows a colorimetric single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method that uses spontaneous aggregation of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) for the simple and rapid SNP genotyping of the human cytochrome P450 2C19 monooxygenase gene.
