SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 18:E1759. [PMID: 29857535 PMCID: PMC6021843 DOI: 10.3390/s18061759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2018] [Revised: 05/24/2018] [Accepted: 05/25/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A simple theoretical model was developed to analyze the extinction spectrum of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on the fiber core and glass surfaces in order to aid the determination of the surface coverage and surface distribution of the AuNPs on the fiber core surface for sensitivity optimization of the fiber optic particle plasmon resonance (FOPPR) sensor. The extinction spectrum of AuNPs comprises of the interband absorption of AuNPs, non-interacting plasmon resonance (PR) band due to isolated AuNPs, and coupled PR band of interacting AuNPs. When the surface coverage is smaller than 12.2%, the plasmon coupling effect can almost be ignored. This method is also applied to understand the refractive index sensitivity of the FOPPR sensor with respect to the non-interacting PR band and the coupled PR band. In terms of wavelength sensitivity at a surface coverage of 18.6%, the refractive index sensitivity of the coupled PR band (205.5 nm/RIU) is greater than that of the non-interacting PR band (349.1 nm/RIU). In terms of extinction sensitivity, refractive index sensitivity of the coupled PR band (-3.86/RIU) is similar to that of the non-interacting PR band (-3.93/RIU). Both maximum wavelength and extinction sensitivities were found at a surface coverage of 15.2%.

Decoupled in-plane Dipole Resonance Modulated Colorimetric Assay-Based Optical Ruler for Ultra-Trace Gold (Au) Detection. Sci Rep 2018; 8:868.

Abstract
Decoupling of different plasmon resonance modes (in-plane, and out-of-plane dipole and quadrupole resonances) by tuning nanoparticle’s size and shape offers a new field of plasmonics as colorimetric assay-based optical-ruler for ultra-trace sensing. Driven by its low cost, easy to perform and efficient way to measure trace level (up to 30 ppt in presence of common mining elements in natural gold ore) abundance, this study develops a highly selective and ultrasensitive turn-on colorimetric sensor to detect gold-ion from environmental samples. Different level of gold-ion tracer makes size variable spherical- and disc-shaped silver nanoparticles when added to a ‘growth solution’ which results decoupling of in-plane dipole resonance from in-plane quadrupole and out-of-plane dipole resonances with a wide range of in-plane dipole plasmon tunability to generate different colors. This color-coded sensing of gold-ion shows high selectivity and ultrasensitivity over other metal ions in the ppt level with an impurity aberration limit of 1 ppm. A plausible explanation explains the possible role of catalytic gold-ion to initiate unfavorable silver ion (Ag+) reduction by ascorbic acid to generate silver nanoparticles. Proposed technology has been applied in real mining sample (Bugunda Gold Deposit, Tajikistan) to detect gold concentration from ores to find potential application in mining technology.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) is an extremely toxic element that exists in the environment in different chemical forms. The detection of arsenic in potable water remains a challenging task. This study presents a highly sensitive enzymatic catalysis system for trace sensing of inorganic arsenic in water. This is the first enzyme-catalyzed fluorescence assay capable of detecting arsenic at concentrations below the allowable level adopted by the World Health Organization (10 ppb in drinking water). The enzyme catalytically produces fluorescent NADH in the presence of arsenate, which enables facile detection of arsenate at concentrations in the 0-200 ppb range. Calibration curves made at a set time interval allow accurate determination of unknown arsenic samples. This method holds potential for interfacing with automated analytical sampling systems to allow arsenic determinations in environmental health applications.

Abstract
A suitable As(III)-binding ligand is the key to realize selective and sensitive As(III) sensing. In this study, phage display technique was used for the screening of As(III)-binding peptide. By negative screening against some representative metal cations and positive screening against target As(III), phages that bind to foreign metal cations were eliminated, while those bearing As(III)-binding peptides were kept and enriched. After DNA sequencing and phage ELISA analysis, 5 sets of As(III)-binding peptides were identified, with high content of N-containing functional groups as their predominate feature. A highly specific peptide (sequence: T-Q-S-Y-K-H-G) with the highest frequency of occurrence and best selectivity for As(III) was finally chosen. This peptide with a cysteine added at the C-terminal induces the aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), whereas the competitive binding of As(III) to the peptide prevents the aggregation of AuNPs. Based on this observation, a simple and sensitive colorimetric sensing assay was developed, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 54nM (4μgL-1) for As(III). The As(III) sensor showed high selectivity over other metal ions including As(V), and was validated by As(III) analysis in certified reference material and environmental water samples.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is problematic due to its threat to human health. Highly stable, sensitive and selective sensors are needed for As(iii), which is the most toxic of the various forms of arsenic. Herein, we describe the fabrication of field-effect transistor (FET)-type aptasensors for As(iii) detection that is based on carboxylic polypyrrole (CPPy)-coated flower-like MoS2 nanospheres (CFMNSs). Arsenic-binding aptamer-conjugated CFMNSs were integrated into a liquid-ion gated FET system, leading to extraordinary performance with a rapid response (on a time scale of less than 1 s). Field-induced current changes occurred through the interaction between the aptamer and As(iii), resulting in sensitive discrimination of As(iii) at unprecedentedly low concentrations (ca. 1 pM). Moreover, the CFMNS-based aptasensor selectively recognized As(iii) among numerous other metal ions and accurately detected As(iii) in a mixed solution. The FET aptasensor could also discriminate target analytes in a real sample derived from river water. This MoS2-based aptasensor is a promising tool for the detection of As(iii) and could be used in a wide range of practical applications.

Abstract
A sunlight induced simple green route has been developed for the synthesis of polyacrylate functionalized gold nanoparticles (PAA-AuNPs), in which poly(acrylic acid) functions as a reducing as well as stabilizing agent. This material has been characterized on the basis of spectroscopic and microscopic studies; it exhibited selective colorimetric detection of Al3+ in aqueous media, and the Al3+ induced aggregated PAA-AuNPs exhibited detection of F- with sharp color change and high selectivity and sensitivity out of a large number of metal ions and anions tested. The mechanistic study revealed that, for Al3+, the color change is due to a shift of the SPR band because of the Al3+ induced aggregation of PAA-AuNPs, whereas for F-, the reverse color change (blue to red) with return of the SPR band to its original position is due to dispersion of aggregated PAA-AuNPs, as F- removes Al3+ from the aggregated species by complex formation. Only concentration-dependent fluoride ion can prevent Al3+ from aggregating PAA-AuNPs. The method is successfully used for the detection of F- in water collected from various sources by the spiking method, in toothpastes of different brands by the direct method. The solid Al3+-PAA-AuNPs were isolated, adsorbed on ZIF@8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework) and on a cotton strip, and applied as solid sensing material for detection of F- in aqueous media.

Abstract
Even in the 21st century, prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer-related death for men. Since a normal prostate gland has a high ZnII content and there are huge differences in ZnII content between healthy and malignant prostate cancer cells, mobile zinc can be used as a biomarker for prostate cancer prediction. A highly efficient surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) probe using a p-(imidazole)azo)benzenethiol attached gold nanoparticle as a Raman reporter, which has the capability to identify prostate cancer cells based on ZnII sensing, has been designed. A facile synthesis, characterization and evaluation of a ZnII sensing Raman probe are described. Reported data indicate that after binding with ZnII , Raman reporter attached to a gold nanoparticle forms an assembly structure, which allows selective detection of ZnII even at 100 ppt concentration. Theoretical full-wave finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations have been used to understand the enhancement of the SERS signal. The SERS probe is highly promising for in vivo sensing of cancer, where near-IR light can be easily used to avoid tissue autofluorescence and to enhance tissue penetration depth. Reported data show that the SERS probe can distinguish metastatic cancer cells from normal prostate cells very easily with a sensitivity as low as 5 cancer cells mL-1 . The probe can be used as a chemical toolkit for determining mobile ZnII concentrations in biological samples.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) contamination in groundwater presents a major health and environmental concern in developing countries. Typically, As is found in two oxidation states. Most chemical tests for inorganic arsenic are focused on As(III), and few have been developed for As(V). We are interested in developing biosensors for As(V) based on its similarity with phosphate. Building upon previous work involving DNA-capped Fe3O4 nanoparticles for As(V) detection, we investigated two other nanomaterials: CeO2 and CePO4 in terms of DNA adsorption and As(V) induced DNA desorption. Fluorescently labeled DNA is physically adsorbed to the surface sites on the nanoparticle surface via its phosphate backbone. In the cases of CeO2 and Fe3O4, the fluorescence was quenched due to electron transfer, whereas for the insulating CePO4, no quenching was observed. Arsenate, being similar to phosphate, can also bind to the surface of the nanoparticles and displace the DNA, increasing the fluorescence signal. The length and sequence of DNA were systematically studied. Using this method, CeO2 performed significantly better than Fe3O4, lowering the detection limit by almost 10-fold. In addition, for CeO2 and CePO4, using shorter DNA was more effective for As(V) detection than using the longer DNA since they both adsorb DNA more tightly than Fe3O4 does. Overall, CeO2 has the best performance since it has an intermediate adsorption affinity of DNA, while CePO4 adsorbs DNA too strongly.

Abstract
There is an unmet need in the development of an effective therapy for mutant K-ras-expressing non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although various small molecules have been evaluated, an effective therapy remains a dream. siRNAs have the potential to downregulate mutant K-ras both at the protein and mRNA levels. However, a safe and effective delivery of siRNAs to tumors remains a limitation to their translational application in the treatment of this highly debilitating disease. Here we developed a novel hybrid nanoparticle carrier for effective delivery of anti-mutant K-ras to NSCLC (AKSLHN). The ability of this treatment modality to regress lung tumors in mouse models was evaluated as a monotherapy or as a combination treatment with erlotinib. Further, the toxicity of this treatment modality to healthy tissues was evaluated, along with its ability to elicit immune/inflammatory reactions. The results suggest that this treatment modality is a promising prospect for the treatment of mutant K-ras-expressing NSCLC without any accompanying toxicity. However, further understanding of the cellular-level interaction between AHSLHN and erlotinib needs to be attained before this promising treatment modality can be brought to the bedside.

Abstract
As the field of colloidal science continues to expand, tools for rapid and accurate physiochemical characterization of colloidal particles will become increasingly important. Here, we present Particle Scattering Diffusometry (PSD), a method that utilizes dark field microscopy and the principles of particle image velocimetry to measure the diffusivity of particles undergoing Brownian motion. PSD measures the diffusion coefficient of particles as small as 30 nm in diameter and is used to characterize changes in particle size and distribution as a function of small, label-free, surface modifications of particles. We demonstrate the rapid sizing of particles using three orders-of-magnitude less sample volume than current standard techniques and use PSD to quantify particle uniformity. Furthermore, PSD is sensitive enough to detect biomolecular surface modifications of nanometer thickness. With these capabilities, PSD can reliably aid in a wide variety of applications, including colloid sizing, particle corona characterization, protein footprinting, and quantifying biomolecule activity.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have found broad applications in chemical and biological sensing, catalysis, biomolecular imaging, in vitro diagnostics, cancer therapy, and many other areas. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is an analytical tool used routinely for nanoparticle size measurement and analysis. Due to its relatively low cost and ease of operation in comparison to other more sophisticated techniques, DLS is the primary choice of instrumentation for analyzing the size and size distribution of nanoparticle suspensions. However, many DLS users are unfamiliar with the principles behind the DLS measurement and are unware of some of the intrinsic limitations as well as the unique capabilities of this technique. The lack of sufficient understanding of DLS often leads to inappropriate experimental design and misinterpretation of the data. In this study, we performed DLS analyses on a series of citrate-stabilized AuNPs with diameters ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Our study shows that the measured hydrodynamic diameters of the AuNPs can vary significantly with concentration and incident laser power. The scattered light intensity of the AuNPs has a nearly sixth order power law increase with diameter, and the enormous scattered light intensity of AuNPs with diameters around or exceeding 80 nm causes a substantial multiple scattering effect in conventional DLS instruments. The effect leads to significant errors in the reported average hydrodynamic diameter of the AuNPs when the measurements are analyzed in the conventional way, without accounting for the multiple scattering. We present here some useful methods to obtain the accurate hydrodynamic size of the AuNPs using DLS. We also demonstrate and explain an extremely powerful aspect of DLS-its exceptional sensitivity in detecting gold nanoparticle aggregate formation, and the use of this unique capability for chemical and biological sensing applications.

Nanospherical arabinogalactan proteins are a key component of the high-strength adhesive secreted by English ivy. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2016; 113:E3193-202.

Abstract
Over 130 y have passed since Charles Darwin first discovered that the adventitious roots of English ivy (Hedera helix) exude a yellowish mucilage that promotes the capacity of this plant to climb vertical surfaces. Unfortunately, little progress has been made in elucidating the adhesion mechanisms underlying this high-strength adhesive. In the previous studies, spherical nanoparticles were observed in the viscous exudate. Here we show that these nanoparticles are predominantly composed of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), a superfamily of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins present in the extracellular spaces of plant cells. The spheroidal shape of the AGP-rich ivy nanoparticles results in a low viscosity of the ivy adhesive, and thus a favorable wetting behavior on the surface of substrates. Meanwhile, calcium-driven electrostatic interactions among carboxyl groups of the AGPs and the pectic acids give rise to the cross-linking of the exuded adhesive substances, favor subsequent curing (hardening) via formation of an adhesive film, and eventually promote the generation of mechanical interlocking between the adventitious roots of English ivy and the surface of substrates. Inspired by these molecular events, a reconstructed ivy-mimetic adhesive composite was developed by integrating purified AGP-rich ivy nanoparticles with pectic polysaccharides and calcium ions. Information gained from the subsequent tensile tests, in turn, substantiated the proposed adhesion mechanisms underlying the ivy-derived adhesive. Given that AGPs and pectic polysaccharides are also observed in bioadhesives exuded by other climbing plants, the adhesion mechanisms revealed by English ivy may forward the progress toward understanding the general principles underlying diverse botanic adhesives.

Abstract
Absolute extinction and scattering cross sections for gold nanoparticle dimers were determined experimentally using a chemometric approach involving singular-value decomposition of the extinction and scattering spectra of slowly aggregating gold nanospheres in aqueous suspension. Quantitative spectroscopic data on plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies in liquid suspension are rare, in particular for particles larger than 40 nm, and in this work we demonstrate how such data can be obtained directly from the aggregating suspension. Our method can analyse, non invasively, the evolution of several sub-populations of nanoparticle assemblies. It may be applied to other self-assembling nanoparticle systems with an evolving optical response. The colloidal systems studied here are based on 20, 50 and 80 nm gold nanospheres in aqueous solutions containing sodium lipoate. In these systems, the reversible dimerisation process can be controlled using pH and ionic strength, and this control is rationalised in terms of DLVO theory. The dimers were identified in suspension by their translational and rotational diffusion through scattering correlation spectroscopy. Moreover, their gigadalton molecular weight was measured using electrospray charge-detection mass spectrometry, demonstrating that mass spectrometry can be used to study nanoparticles assemblies of very high molecular mass. The extinction and scattering cross sections calculated in the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) agree very well with those obtained experimentally using our approach.

Abstract
The optical detection for inorganic arsenic (As) semi-quantitative determination is presented by using silver nanoplates (AgNPls). The color of AgNPs is immediately changed in the presence of As(III) and As(V) with the same sensitivity. To improve the selectivity of AgNPls for As detection, ferrihydrite-coated silica gel (SiO2-Fh) was specifically exploited as adsorbent for arsenic prior to As detection by AgNPls. The developed method provides the detection limit of 0.5ppm with the detection range between 0.5ppm and 30.0ppm for As determination observed with naked eye, and allows to determine total inorganic arsenic. This is the first report of As detection approach combining As removal technology together with nanotechnology. This combined technique provides a rapid, sensitive and selective method for monitoring As levels in aqueous samples, and can be employed as a testing field kit to screen arsenic contamination outside of a laboratory.

Abstract
Localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has been exploited for two decades in analytical science and has proven to be a powerful tool for the detection of various kinds of substances including small molecules, ions, macro biomolecules and microbes. Detection can be performed by visual colour change observations, photometry or resonance light scattering. A wide range of applications have been studied in the areas of environmental, pharmaceutical and biological analysis and clinical diagnosis. In this article, some fundamental aspects and important applications involving LSPR of AuNPs are reviewed. Several inherent shortcomings of these techniques and possible strategies to circumvent them are discussed.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles decorated with full-length sialic acid terminated complex bi-antennary N-glycans, synthesized with glycans isolated from egg yolk, were used as a sensor for the detection of both recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) and whole influenza A virus particles of the H1N1 subtype. Nanoparticle aggregation was induced by interaction between the sialic acid termini of the glycans attached to gold and the multivalent sialic acid binding sites of HA. Both dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV/Vis spectroscopy demonstrated the efficiency of the sensor, which could detect viral HA at nanomolar concentrations and revealed a linear relationship between the extent of nanoparticle aggregation and the concentration of HA. UV/Vis studies also showed that these nanoparticles can selectively detect an influenza A virus strain that preferentially binds sialic acid terminated glycans with α(2→6) linkages over a strain that prefers glycans with terminal α(2→3)-linked sialic acids.

Abstract
Water contaminants, e.g., inorganic chemicals and microorganisms, are critical metrics for water quality monitoring and have significant impacts on human health and plants/organisms living in water. The scope and focus of this review is nanomaterial-based optical, electronic, and electrochemical sensors for rapid detection of water contaminants, e.g., heavy metals, anions, and bacteria. These contaminants are commonly found in different water systems. The importance of water quality monitoring and control demands significant advancement in the detection of contaminants in water because current sensing technologies for water contaminants have limitations. The advantages of nanomaterial-based sensing technologies are highlighted and recent progress on nanomaterial-based sensors for rapid water contaminant detection is discussed. An outlook for future research into this rapidly growing field is also provided.

Abstract
Visual detection of nucleic acids provides simple and rapid screening for infectious diseases or environmental pathogens. However, sensitivity is the current bottleneck, which may require enzymatic amplification for targets in low abundance and make them incompatible with detection at resource-limited sites. Here we report an enzyme-free amplification that provides a sensitive visual detection of ssDNA/RNA oligonucleotides on the basis of nano "sticky balls". When target oligonucleotides are present, magnetic microparticles (MMPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were linked together, allowing the collection of AuNPs after magnetic attraction. Subsequently, the collected AuNPs, which carry many oligonucleotides, were used as the sticky balls to link a second pair of MMPs and polymer microparticles (PMPs). Thus, because the magnetic field can attract the MMPs as well as the linked PMPs to the sidewall, the reduction of suspended PMPs yields a change of light transmission visible by the naked eye. Our results demonstrate that the limit of detection is 10 amol for ssDNAs (228 fM in 45 μL) and 75 amol for ssRNAs (1.67 pM in 45 μL). This method is also compatible with the serum environment and detection of a microRNA, miR-155, derived from human breast cancer cells. With significantly improved sensitivity for visual detection, it provides great potential for point-of-care applications at resource-limited sites.

Abstract
More than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water that is free from pathogenic bacteria and toxic metals. The World Health Organization estimates several million people, mostly children, die every year due to the lack of good quality water. Driven by this need, we report the development of PGLa antimicrobial peptide and glutathione conjugated carbon nanotube (CNT) bridged three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene oxide membrane, which can be used for highly efficient disinfection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteria and removal of As(III), As(V), and Pb(II) from water. Reported results demonstrate that versatile membrane has the capability to capture and completely disinfect pathogenic pathogenic E. coli O157:H7 bacteria from water. Experimentally observed disinfection data indicate that the PGLa attached membrane can dramatically enhance the possibility of destroying pathogenic E. coli bacteria via synergistic mechanism. Reported results show that glutathione attached CNT-bridged 3D graphene oxide membrane can be used to remove As(III), As(V), and Pb(II) from water sample at 10 ppm level. Our data demonstrated that PGLa and glutathione attached membrane has the capability for high efficient removal of E. coli O157:H7 bacteria, As(III), As(V), and Pb(II) simultaneously from Mississippi River water.

Abstract
We report chemical deposition of silver nanocrystals (AgNCs) of different sizes and morphologies, such as polyhedra and plates, on a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mat. High performance surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are achieved. The effect of the experimental parameters, such as the temperature, concentration and pH of [Ag(NH3)2]OH aqueous solution, on the morphology evolution and density of AgNCs is systematically investigated. The results suggest that the optimized nanofiber mat exhibits a significant SERS performance with superior stability and reproduction, and the SERS enhancement factor (EF) can reach as high as 10(8) for 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA). The optimized nanofiber mat also shows high SERS activity for p-aminothiophenol (4-ATP) over the whole nanofiber mat demonstrating the feasibility for detection of both analytes. The detection limit of 4-MBA and 4-ATP is as low as 10(-9) M and 10(-10) M respectively, making the nanofiber mat a promising candidate for SERS detection of chemical pollutants.

Abstract
We report the development of a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based heavy metal ion sensor targeting the detection of mercury(II) ion (Hg(2+)) and copper(II) ion (Cu(2+)) with high sensitivity and selectivity. To achieve the detection of vibrational-spectroscopically silent heavy metal ions, the SERS substrate composed of gold nanorod (AuNR)-polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocomposite fibers was first functionalized using metal ion-binding ligands. Specifically, 2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole dimer (di-DMT) and trimercaptotriazine (TMT) were attached to the SERS substrates serving as bridging molecules to capture Hg(2+) and Cu(2+), respectively, from solution. Upon heavy metal ion coordination, changes in the vibrational spectra of the bridging molecules, including variations in the peak-intensity ratios and peak shifts were observed and taken as indicators of the capture of the target ions. With rigorous spectral analysis, the coordination mechanism between the heavy metal ion and the corresponding bridging molecule was investigated. Mercury(II) ion primarily interacts with di-DMT through the cleavage of the disulfide bond, whereas Cu(2+) preferentially interacts with the heterocyclic N atoms in TMT. The specificity of the coordination chemistry provided both di-DMT and TMT with excellent selectivity for the detection of Hg(2+) and Cu(2+) in the presence of other interfering metal ion species. In addition, quantitative analysis of the concentration of the heavy metal ions was achieved through the construction of internal calibration curves using the peak-intensity ratios of 287/387 cm(-1) for Hg(2+) and 1234/973 cm(-1) for Cu(2+).

Abstract
Herein, we present simple and rapid colorimetric and UV/VIS spectroscopic methods for detecting anionic arsenic (V) complexes in aqueous media. The methods exploit the aggregation of S-layer-functionalized spherical gold nanoparticles of sizes between 20 and 50 nm in the presence of arsenic species. The gold nanoparticles were functionalized with oligomers of the S-layer protein of Lysinibacillus sphaericus JG-A12. The aggregation of the nanoparticles results in a color change from burgundy-red for widely dispersed nanoparticles to blue for aggregated nanoparticles. A detailed signal analysis was achieved by measuring the shift of the particle plasmon resonance signal with UV/VIS spectroscopy. To further improve signal sensitivity, the influence of larger nanoparticles was tested. In the case of 50 nm gold nanoparticles, a concentration of the anionic arsenic (V) complex lower than 24 ppb was detectable.

Abstract
In this work, fluorescent gold nanocluster (AuNC) decorated polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers (AuNC*PCL-NF) for real time visual monitoring of Hg(2+) detection at ppt level in water is demonstrated. The resultant AuNC*PCL-NF exhibiting remarkable stability more than four months at ambient environment and facilitates increased accessibility to active sites resulting in improved sensing performance with rapid response time. The fluorescence changes of AuNC*PCL-NF and their corresponding time dependent spectra, upon introduction of Hg(2+), led to the visual identification of the sensor performance. It is observed that the effective removal of excess ligand (bovine serum albumin (BSA) greatly enhances the surface exposure of AuNC and therefore their selective sensing performance is achieved over competent metal ions such as Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and Pb(2+) present in the water. An exceptional interaction is observed between AuNC and Hg(2+), wherein the absence of excess interrupting ligand makes AuNC more selective towards Hg(2+). The underlying mechanism is found to be due to the formation of Au-Hg amalgam, which was further investigated with XPS, TEM and elemental mapping studies. In short, our findings may lead to develop very efficient fluorescent-based nanofibrous mercury sensor, keeping in view of its stability, simplicity, reproducibility, and low cost.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles adsorb fluorescently labeled DNA oligonucleotides via the backbone phosphate and quench fluorescence. Arsenate displaces adsorbed DNA to increase fluorescence, allowing detection of arsenate down to 300 nM. This is a new way of using DNA: analyte recognition relies on its phosphate instead of the bases.

Abstract
The demand for selection of aptamers against various small chemical molecules has substantially increased in recent years. To incubate and separate target-specific aptamers, the conventional SELEX procedures generally need to immobilize target molecules on a matrix, which may be impotent to screen aptamers toward small molecules without enough sites for immobilization. Herein we chose Cd(II) as a model of a small molecule with less sites, and proposed a novel SELEX strategy of immobilizing ssDNA libraries rather than target molecules on a matrix, for selection of aptamers with high affinity to Cd(II). After eleven rounds of positive and negative selection, twelve T and G-rich of nonrepeating ssDNA sequences were identified, of which the Cd-4 aptamer displayed the highest binding affinity to Cd(II). The secondary structures of these sequences revealed that a stem-loop structure folded by the domain of their 30-random sequence is critical for aptamers to bind targets. Then the interaction between the selected Cd-4 aptamer and Cd(II) was confirmed by CD analysis, and the binding specificity toward other competitive metal ions was also investigated. The dissociation constant (Kd) of Cd-4 aptamer was determined as 34.5 nM for Cd(II). Moreover, the Cd-4 aptamer was considered a recognition element for the colorimetric detection of Cd(II) based on the aggregation of AuNPs by cationic polymer. Through spectroscopic quantitative analysis, Cd(II) in aqueous solution can be detected as low as 4.6 nM. The selected Cd-4 aptamer will offer a new substitute for the detection of Cd(II) or other applications like recovery of cadmium from polluted samples.

Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for colorimetric ascorbic acid (AA) quantification in a paper-based sensor. This device is constituted by spot tests modified with AgNPs and silver ions bordered by a hydrophobic barrier which provides quantitative and fast analysis of AA. In addition, this device is employed as point-of-care monitoring using a unique drop of the sample. AgNPs paper-based sensor changed from light yellow to gray color after the addition of AA due to nanoparticle growth and clusters formation. The color intensities were altered as a function of AA concentration which were measured by either a scanner or a homemade portable transmittance colorimeter. Under the selected measurement conditions, results presented limit of detection which was comparable to analytical laboratory-based methodologies. In addition, the sensitivity of our sensor was comparable to the standard titration method when real samples were investigated.

Abstract
When citrate ligands-capped gold nanoparticles are mixed with blood sera, a protein corona is formed on the nanoparticle surface due to the adsorption of various proteins in the blood to the nanoparticles. Using a two-step gold nanoparticle-enabled dynamic light scattering assay, we discovered that the amount of human immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the gold nanoparticle protein corona is increased in prostate cancer patients compared to noncancer controls. Two pilot studies conducted on blood serum samples collected at Florida Hospital and obtained from Prostate Cancer Biorespository Network (PCBN) revealed that the test has a 90-95% specificity and 50% sensitivity in detecting early stage prostate cancer, representing a significant improvement over the current PSA test. The increased amount of human IgG found in the protein corona is believed to be associated with the autoantibodies produced in cancer patients as part of the immunodefense against tumor. Proteomic analysis of the nanoparticle protein corona revealed molecular profile differences between cancer and noncancer serum samples. Autoantibodies and natural antibodies produced in cancer patients in response to tumorigenesis have been found and detected in the blood of many cancer types. The test may be applicable for early detection and risk assessment of a broad spectrum of cancer. This new blood test is simple, low cost, requires only a few drops of blood sample, and the results are obtained within minutes. The test is well suited for screening purpose. More extensive studies are being conducted to further evaluate and validate the clinical potential of the new test.

Abstract
The exposure of millions of people to unsafe levels of arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV) in drinking waters calls for the development of low-cost methods for on-site monitoring these two arsenic species in waters. Herein, for the first time, tetradecyl (trihexyl) phosphonium chloride ionic liquid was found to selectively bind with AsIII via extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis. Based on the finding, an AsIII-specific probe was developed by modifying gold nanoparticles with the ionic liquid. Futhermore, Hofmeister effect was primarily observed to significantly affect the sensitivity of gold nanoparticle probe. With the colorimetric probe, we developed a protocol for naked eye speciation test of AsIII and AsV at levels below the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline of 10 μg L(-1). This method featured with high tolerance to common coexisting ions such as 10 mM PO4(3-), and was validated by assaying certified reference and environmental water samples.
