Abstract
Monitoring the health conditions of the environment and humans is essential for ensuring human well-being, promoting global health, and achieving sustainability. Innovative biosensors are crucial in accurately monitoring health conditions, uncovering the hidden connections between the environment and human well-being, and understanding how environmental factors trigger autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. This review evaluates the use of nanoplasmonic biosensors that can monitor environmental health and human diseases according to target analytes of different sizes and scales, providing valuable insights for preventive medicine. We begin by explaining the fundamental principles and mechanisms of nanoplasmonic biosensors. We investigate the potential of nanoplasmonic techniques for detecting various biological molecules, extracellular vesicles (EVs), pathogens, and cells. We also explore the possibility of wearable nanoplasmonic biosensors to monitor the physiological network and healthy connectivity of humans, animals, plants, and organisms. This review will guide the design of next-generation nanoplasmonic biosensors to advance sustainable global healthcare for humans, the environment, and the planet.

Rapid formation of gold core-satellite nanostructures using Turkevich-synthesized satellites and dithiol linkers: the do's and don'ts for successful assembly. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:3632-3643. [PMID: 38989523 PMCID: PMC11232561 DOI: 10.1039/d4na00390j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Turkevich syntheses represent a foundational approach for forming colloids of monodisperse gold nanoparticles where the use of these structures as building blocks when forming multicomponent nanoassemblies is pervasive. The core-satellite motif, which is characterized by a central core structure onto which satellite structures are tethered, distinguishes itself in that it can realize numerous plasmonic nanogaps with nanometer scale widths. Established procedures for assembling these multicomponent structures are, to a large extent, empirically driven, time-consuming, difficult to reproduce, and in need of a strong mechanistic underpinning relating to the close-range electrostatic interactions needed to secure satellite structures onto core materials. Described herein is a rapid, repeatable procedure for assembling core-satellite structures using Turkevich-grown satellites and dithiol linkers. With this successful procedure acting as a baseline for benchmarking modified procedures, a rather complex parameter space is understood in terms of timeline requirements for various processing steps and an analysis of the factors that prove consequential to assembly. It is shown that seemingly innocuous procedures realize sparsely populated cores whereas cores initially obstructed with commonly used capping agents lead to few disruptions to satellite attachment. Once these factors are placed under control, then it is the ionic strength imposed by the reaction biproducts of the Turkevich synthesis that is the critical factor in assembly because they decide the spatial extent of the electrical double layer surrounding each colloidal nanoparticle. With this understanding, it is possible to control the ionic strength through the addition or subtraction of various ionic species and assert control over the assembly process. The work, hence, advances the rules for a robust core-satellite assembly process and, in a broader sense, contributes to the knowhow required for the precise, programmable, and controllable assembly of multicomponent systems.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles exhibit unique properties that distinguish them from other nanomaterials, including vibrant visible colors, the generation of local electric fields, the production of hot charge carriers, and localized heat emission. These properties are particularly enhanced in the narrow nanogaps formed between nanostructures. Therefore, creating nanogaps in a controlled fashion is the key to achieving a fundamental understanding of plasmonic phenomena originating from the nanogaps and developing advanced nanomaterials with enhanced performance for diverse applications. One of the most effective approaches to creating nanogaps is to assemble individual nanoparticles into a clustered structure. In this study, we present a fast, facile, and highly efficient method for preparing core@satellite (CS) nanoassembly structures using gold nanoparticles of various shapes and sizes, including nanospheres, nanocubes (AuNCs), nanorods, and nanotriangular prisms. The sequential assembly of these building blocks on glass substrates allows us to obtain CS nanostructures with a 100% yield within 4 h. Using 9 different building blocks, we successfully produce 16 distinct CS nanoassemblies and systematically investigate the combinations to search for the highest Raman enhancement. We find that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity of AuNC@AuNC CS nanoassemblies is 2 orders of magnitude larger than that of other CS nanoassemblies. Theoretical analyses reveal that the intensity and distribution of the electric field induced in the nanogaps by plasmon excitation, as well as the number of molecules in the interfacial region, collectively contribute to the unprecedentedly large SERS enhancement observed for AuNC@AuNC. This study not only presents a novel assembly method that can be extended to produce many other nanoassemblies but also identifies a highly promising SERS material for sensing and diagnostics through a systematic search process.

Abstract
We present core-satellite assemblies comprising a solid gold nanoparticle as the core and hollow decahedral gold nanoshells as satellites for tuning the optical properties of the plasmonic structure for sensing. The core-satellite assemblies were fabricated on a substrate via the layer-by-layer assembly of nanoparticles linked by DNA. We used finite-difference time-domain simulations to help guide the geometrical design, and characterized the optical properties and morphology of the solid-shell nanoparticle assemblies using darkfield microscopy, single-nanostructure spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Plasmon coupling yielded resonant peaks at longer wavelengths in the red to near-infrared range for solid-shell assemblies compared with solid-solid nanoparticle assemblies. We examined sensing with the solid-shell assemblies using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a model target and ATP-aptamer as the linker. Binding of ATP induced disassembly and led to a decrease in the scattering intensity and a color change from red to green. The new morphology of the core-satellite assembly enabled plasmonic color-coding of multiplexed sensors. We demonstrate this potential by fabricating two types of assemblies using DNA linkers that target different molecules - ATP and a model nucleic acid. Our work expands the capability of chip-based plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies for the analysis of multiple, different types of biomolecules in small sample sizes including the microenvironment and single cells.

Abstract
Histones are closely related to the state of chromatin, and epigenetic modification of their tail results in regulation in cells. Therefore, developing various analytical tools to map the changes in position and distribution of histone modifications is helpful in studying underlying mechanisms. Herein, we propose a high-spatial and colourimetric imaging method using plasmonic nanoparticles as probes to visualize heterochromatin histone markers in a single nucleus. We visualized the reorganization between repressive histone markers, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3, caused by oncogene-induced senescence based on the scattering colours and spectral shift of plasmonic nanoprobes to longer wavelengths using their distance-dependent coupling effect. The measured scattering profiles were correlated with the computation results simulating the scattering spectra according to the arrangements and distances among the plasmonic nanoprobes. The plasmonic nanoprobe-based high-spatial hyperspectral imaging provides an advanced way to study the dynamics of histone modifications for predicting the progression of diseases or senescence.

Abstract
Acute detection and high-resolution imaging of microRNAs (miRNAs) in living cancer cells have attracted great attention in clinical diagnosis and therapy. However, current methods suffer from low detection sensitivity or heavy dependence on expensive and sophisticated spectrometers. Herein, a novel algorithm-assisted system of detecting and imaging miRNAs in living cancer cells was developed via the disassembly of plasmonic core-satellite probes coupled with strand displacement amplification (SDA). The target miRNAs in the system could trigger the disassembly of plasmonic core-satellite probes, leading to the color change in the scattering light of the probes, which could be captured by dark-field microscopy (DFM). The concentration of the target miRNAs was obtained by analyzing the dark-field image based on the proposed algorithm with a detection limit of 2 pM for miRNA-21. Thus, the performance in terms of simplicity and sensitivity of the system compared with one of the conventional spectrophotometers was well presented, which could inspire more clinical applications of inexpensive, intelligent, and rapid screening of cancer cells. The application software based on the proposed algorithm running on the Android platform was also developed, demonstrating the potential of remote diagnosis.

Abstract
With the advent of nanofabrication techniques, plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) have been widely applied in various research fields ranging from photocatalysis to chemical and bio-sensing. PNPs efficiently convert chemical or physical stimuli in their local environment into optical signals. PNPs also have excellent properties, including good biocompatibility, large surfaces for the attachment of biomolecules, tunable optical properties, strong and stable scattering light, and good conductivity. Thus, single optical biosensors with plasmonic properties enable a broad range of uses of optical imaging techniques in biological sensing and imaging with high spatial and temporal resolution. This work provides a comprehensive overview on the optical properties of single PNPs, the description of five types of commonly used optical imaging techniques, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) microscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique, differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy, total internal reflection scattering (TIRS) microscopy, and dark-field microscopy (DFM) technique, with an emphasis on their single plasmonic nanoprobes and mechanisms for applications in biological imaging and sensing, as well as the challenges and future trends of these fields.

Abstract
Superstructures of gold nanospheres offer augmented surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activities beyond the limits of their individual building blocks. However, for application as reliable and quantitative colloidal SERS probes, some key aspects need to be considered to combine efficiency and robustness with respect to hotspot excitation, analyte adsorption, signal stability, and colloidal stability. For this purpose, we studied core/satellite superstructures with spherical cores as a simple optically isotropic model system. Superstructures of different core sizes were assembled using bovine serum albumin (BSA), which serves as a non-specific biomacromolecular linker and provides electrosteric stabilization. We show that the "noisy" spectral footprint of the protein coating may serve as an internal standard, which allows accurate monitoring of the adsorption kinetics of analytes. The SERS activity was quantified using 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA) as an aromatic low-molecular-weight model analyte. The molar SERS efficiency was studied by variation of the particle (Au0) and analyte concentrations with a limit of detection of 10-7 M MBA. The practical importance of colloidal stability for robust measurement conditions was demonstrated by comparing the superstructures with their citrate-stabilized or protein-coated building blocks. We explain the theoretical background of hotspot formation by a leader/follower relationship of asymmetric control between the core and the satellites and give practical guidelines for robust colloidal SERS sensing probes.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively used for decades in biosensing-related development due to outstanding optical properties. Peptides, as newly realized functional biomolecules, are promising candidates of replacing antibodies, receptors, and substrates for specific molecular interactions. Both peptides and AuNPs are robust and easily synthesized at relatively low cost. Hence, peptide-AuNP-based bio-nano-technological approaches have drawn increasing interest, especially in the field of molecular targeting, cell imaging, drug delivery, and therapy. Many excellent works in these areas have been reported: demonstrating novel ideas, exploring new targets, and facilitating advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Importantly, some of them also have been employed to address real practical problems, especially in remote and less privileged areas. This contribution focuses on the application of peptide-gold hybrid nanomaterials for various molecular interactions, especially in biosensing/diagnostics and cell targeting/imaging, as well as for the development of highly active antimicrobial/antifouling coating strategies. Rationally designed peptide-gold nanomaterials with functional properties are discussed along with future challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
A rapid and simple methodology for the biomolecular analysis of single cells and microenvironments via a stick-and-peel plasmonic sensing platform is reported. Substrate-bound assemblies of plasmonic gold nanoparticles linked by reconfigurable oligonucleotides undergo disassembly upon target binding. Changes in the light scattering intensity of thousands of discrete nanoparticle assemblies are extrapolated concomitantly to yield the mapping of local target concentrations. The methodology is completely free of labelling, purification and separation steps. We quantified the intracellular ATP levels for two ovarian cancer cell lines to elucidate the differences and cellular distribution, and demonstrated the potential of the stick-and-peel platform for mapping the microenvironment of a 2D heterogeneous surface. The portable and economical analytical platform may broaden the affordability and applicability of single-cell based analyses and enable new opportunities in clinical care such as on-site molecular pathology.

Abstract
The optical properties of nanoparticle assemblies can be tailored via hybridization of plasmon modes. Isotropic core/satellite superstructures made of spherical nanoparticles are known to exhibit coupled modes with a strongly scattering (radiative) character, and provide hot spots yielding high activity in surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). However, to complement this functionality with plasmonic heating, additional absorbing (non-radiative) modes are required. We introduce herein anisotropic superstructures formed by decorating a central nanorod with spherical satellite nanoparticles, which feature two coupled modes that allow application for both SERS and heating. On the basis of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and electromagnetic simulations, the origin of the coupled modes is disclosed and thus serves as a basis toward alternative designs of functional superstructures. This work represents a proof-of-principle for the combination of high SERS efficiency with efficient plasmonic heating by near-infrared irradiation.

Abstract
The identification and detection of cancer biomarkers in early stages is an important issue for the therapy of cancer. However, most methods are time-consuming and have limited sensing sensitivity and specificity. In this work, we prepared a novel plasmonic multilayered core-shell-satellite nanostructure (Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP) consisting of a gold nanosphere with a silver coating core (Au@Ag), an ultrathin continuous silica (SiO2) shell, and a high coverage of gold nanosphere (AuNP) satellites. The Au@Ag core is a prominent surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform, and the thin SiO2 layer exhibits a long-range plasmon coupling between the Au@Ag core to the AuNP satellites, further leading to enhanced Raman scattering. Meanwhile, the outer AuNP satellites have a high biocompatibility and long-term stability. Combining the above advantages, the well-designed metallic nanoassemblies would be a promising candidate for SERS-based applications in biochemistry. For specific detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), we utilized the SERS-active core-shell-satellite nanostructures modified with AFP antibody as immune probes and nitrocellulose membrane (NC) stabilized captured anti-AFP antibodies as solid substrate. To improve the detection performance, we further systematically optimized the parameters, including the silver coating thickness of the Au@Ag core and the density and size of the satellite AuNPs. Under the optimized conditions, AFP could be detected by the SERS-based sandwich immunoassay with an ultralow detection limit of 0.3 fg/mL, and the method exhibited a wide linear response from 1 fg/mL to 1 ng/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) was considerably lower than conventional methods in the literature. This work relies on the unique Au@Ag@SiO2-AuNP nanostructures as the immune probe develops a new outlook for the application of multilayered nanoassemblies and demonstrates the great potential in early tumor marker detection.

Abstract
Herein is described a facile method for the assembly of plasmonic gold nanoparticles into smart plasmonic core-satellite nanostructures that allow for the dynamic and reversible tuning of the localised surface plasmon resonance using temperature. This smart system takes advantage of the thermoresponsive polymer linker that modulates the gap distance between the core and satellites in response to the temperature, resulting in the tuning of the surface plasmon coupling and resultant optical shift. It permits optical shifts over a wide wavelength range and reversible control of the optical properties by altering the temperature, which may allow these systems to become candidates for temperature sensitive nanosensors.

Abstract
The detection of cancer biomarkers represents an important aspect of cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Recently, the concept of liquid biopsy has been introduced whereby diagnosis and prognosis are performed by means of analyzing biological fluids obtained from patients to detect and quantify circulating cancer biomarkers. Unlike conventional biopsy whereby primary tumor cells are analyzed, liquid biopsy enables the detection of a wide variety of circulating cancer biomarkers, including microRNA (miRNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), proteins, exosomes and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Among the various techniques that have been developed to detect circulating cancer biomarkers, nanoplasmonic sensors represent a promising measurement approach due to high sensitivity and specificity as well as ease of instrumentation and operation. In this review, we discuss the relevance and applicability of three different categories of nanoplasmonic sensing techniques, namely surface plasmon resonance (SPR), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), for the detection of different classes of circulating cancer biomarkers.

Abstract
The assemblies of cross-linked gold nanoparticles (AuNP) attract lot of scientific attention due to feasible perspectives of their use for development of scaled contact electrodes. Here, we developed and tested method of solid-state formation of dimers created from small AuNP (~18 nm) cross-linked with 1.9-nonadithiol (NDT) molecules. The morphology of created coating of a glass surface and its optical-polarization properties have been studied in detail by combination of scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, and modulation-polarization spectroscopy.The modification of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of single AuNP and their assemblies were studied by measuring of the spectral characteristics of polarization difference at all stages of synthesis. The radiative and nonradiative modes of LSPR have been analyzed in detail at different angles of incidence light. This allowed establishing relation between surface morphology of the coating and its optical properties.

Abstract
Optical sensors based on discrete plasmonic nanostructures are invaluable for probing biomolecular interactions when applied as plasmonic rulers or reconfigurable multinanoparticle assemblies. However, their adaptation as a versatile sensing platform is limited by the research-grade instrumentation required for single-nanostructure imaging and/or spectroscopy and complex data fitting and analysis. Additionally, the dynamic range is often too narrow for the quantitative analysis of targets of interest in biodiagnostics, food safety, or environmental monitoring. Herein we present plasmonic assembly comprising a core nanoparticle surrounded by multiple layers of satellite nanoparticles through aptamer linker. The layer-by-layer assembly of the satellite nanoparticles yields uniform discrete nanoparticle clusters on a substrate with enhanced optical properties. Binding of the model target (adenosine 5'-triphosphate, ATP) induces disassembly and leads to a dramatic decrease in the scattering intensity that can be analyzed readily from darkfield images. We demonstrate that the sensing performance, such as detection limit, dynamic range, and sensitivity, can be tuned by controlling the size of the assembly. The substrate-anchored nanoparticle assemblies are selective to only ATP, and not other adenine-containing compounds. By adapting the methodology to a flexible support, cellular ATP can be directly detected by lysing adherent cells in close contact with the plasmonic assemblies-a process that does not require any sample preparation or purification. Enhancing the optical detection signal via designing and engineering nanoparticle assemblies could enable their use with low-cost portable imaging systems and broaden their applicability beyond the study of biomolecular interaction.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the development of oblique colloidal lithography (OCL) and establish a systematic patterning strategy for creating libraries of nanosized nonconcentric plasmonic structures. This strategy combines OCL, capillary force lithography, and several wet and ion etching steps. Hexagonal arrays of nonconcentric gold features were created on glass substrates with highly controllable geometric parameters. The size, geometry, and eccentricity of the gold features could be independently tuned by controlling the experimental conditions. Gaps within surface elements could be shrunk to as small as 30 nm, while the total patterned area was about l cm2. The goal was to devise a method that offers a high degree of control over the resolution and morphology of asymmetric structures without the need to resort to electron beam lithography. This technique also enabled the development of numerous surface patterns through the stepwise fabrication of separate elements. Complex features, including dots-surrounded nonconcentric targets, nonconcentric hexagram-disks, and nonconcentric annular aperture arrays, were demonstrated, and their optical properties were characterized. Indeed, spectroscopic studies and FDTD simulations demonstrated that Fano resonances could readily be generated by the nonconcentric gold features. Consequently, our patterning strategy should enable the high-throughput investigation of plasmonic coupling and Fano resonances as a function of the physical parameters of the elements within the nanopattern array.

Abstract
The label-free localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) detection technique has been identified as a powerful means for in situ investigation of biological processes and localized chemical reactions at single particle level with high spatial and temporal resolution. Herein, a core-satellites assembled nanostructure of Au50@Au13 was designed for in situ detection and intracellular imaging of telomerase activity by combining plasmonic resonance Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy with dark-field microscope (DFM). The Au50@Au13 was fabricated by using 50 nm gold nanoparticles (Au50) as core and 13 nm gold nanoparticles (Au13) as satellites, both of them were functionalized with single chain DNA and gathered proximity through the highly specific DNA hybridization with a nicked hairpin DNA (O1) containing a telomerase substrate (TS) primer as linker. In the presence of telomerase, the telomeric repeated sequence of (TTAGGG)n extended at the 3'-end of O1 would hybridized with its complementary sequences at 5'-ends. This led the telomerase extension product of O1 be folded to form a rigid hairpin structure. As a result, the Au50@Au13 was disassembled with the releasing of O1 and Au13-S from Au50-L, which dramatically decreased the plasmon coupling effect. The remarkable LSPR spectral shift was observed accompanied by a detectable color change from orange to green with the increase of telomerase activity at single particle level with a detection limit of 1.3 × 10-13 IU. The ability of Au50@Au13 for in situ imaging intracellular telomerase activity, distinguishing cancer cells from normal cells, in situ monitoring the variation of cellular telomerase activity after treated with drugs were also demonstrated.

Abstract
This work reports the use of compositionally heterogeneous asymmetric Ag@Au core-satellite nanoassembly functionalized with DNA sequence as unique signaling nanoprobes for the realization of new energy-transfer-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunoassay of prostate- specific antigen (PSA). Specifically, the Ag@Au asymmetric core-satellite nanoassemblies (Ag@Au ACS) were fabricated on a two-dimensional glass substrate by a modified controlled assembly technique, and then functionalized with DNA sequences containing PSA aptamers as signaling nanoprobes. Then, the sandwich complexing between the PSA, its antibodies, and the signaling nanoprobes was performed on a CdS QDs modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode. The single stranded DNA can server as a facile mediator that place the Ag@Au ACS in proximity of CdS QDs, stimulating the interparticle exciton-plasmon interactions between Ag@Au ACS and CdS QDs and thus quenching the excitonic states in the latter. Since the damping effect is closely related to the target concentration, a novel energy-transfer-based PEC bioanalysis could be achieved for the sensitive and specific PSA assay. The developed biosensor displayed a linear range from 1.0×10-11gmL-1 to 1.0×10-7gmL-1 and the detection limit was experimentally found to be of 0.3×10-13gmL-1. This strategy used the Ag@Au ACS-DNA signaling nanoprobes and overcame the deficiency of short operating distance of the energy transfer process for feasible PEC immunoassay. More significantly, it provided a way to couple the plasmonic properties of the Ag NPs and Au NPs in a single PEC bioanalytical system. We expected this work could inspire more interests and further investigations on the advanced engineering of the core-satellite or other judiciously designed nanostructures for new PEC bioanalytical uses with novel properties.

Abstract
Fabrication of discrete nanostructures consisting of noble metal nanoparticles immobilized on substrates is challenging because of structural complexity but important for chip-based plasmonic sensor technology. Here we report optical sensing capabilities of core-satellite nanostructures made of gold nanoparticles immobilized on glass substrate, which were fabricated by combining stepwise interconnection of gold nanoparticles through dithiol linkers and surface treatment using vacuum ultraviolet light. The nanostructures exhibit large changes in coupled plasmon resonance peak upon surrounding refractive index, with sensitibity of ca. 350 nm RIU(-1), thus providing highly sensitive optical sensors for determining the surrounding refractive index and detecting organic vapors.

We report the successful construction of plasmonic core-satellite nanostructured assemblies on two-dimensional substrates, based on a strategy of combining DNA-functionalized plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) with the specific recognition ability toward target to enable satellite NPs to self-assemble around the core immobilized on substrates. A strongly coupled plasmonic resonance band was observed because of the close proximity between core and satellite NPs, which presented significant red-shift and enhanced extinction with respect to the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band of individual core NPs on the substrate. The functionality of this core-satellite nanostructured assembly as a biosensor was further explored, and the changes in extinction intensity and the peak shift of the plasmonic coupling resonance band arising from the probe-target DNA binding event all proved to be useful criteria for target DNA detection. Moreover, high selectivity down to single-base mismatched DNA was achieved using this strongly coupled plasmonic core-satellite nanostructured assembly on a substrate. Such substrate-based detection was advantageous, and its reusability and high cycle stability were demonstrated after five cycles of disassembly and reassembly. Our work demonstrates the biosensing capacity of this DNA-functionalized plasmonic nanoassembly model system on two-dimensional substrate, which is also applicable to the detection of numerous DNA-recognized biomolecules. Likewise, the presented construction method can be extended to fabricate other compositional core-satellite nanoassemblies.

Abstract
We report on a robust nanotemplating approach to synthesize plasmonic multilayered core-satellite (MCS) nanoassemblies. Templated with gold nanorods, ultrathin Au/Ag alloy cages and satellite gold nanoparticles can be constructed sequentially by galvanic replacement reactions and electrostatic self-assembly, respectively, forming structurally well-defined MCS. The MCS nanoassemblies exhibit strong broadband plasmon resonances from ∼440 to ∼1100 nm, and their resonant features can be fine-tuned by adjusting the size and number density of satellite nanoparticles and by adjusting the thickness of the silica spacer between cage and satellite particles. Such fine-engineered MCS nanoassemblies enable precise programming of the strength and distribution of "hot spots" to maximize the overall enhancement of surface enhanced Raman scattering.

Abstract
Recently we demonstrated oriented formation of gold nanoparticle (AuNP) dimers for ultrasensitive sensing oligonucleotides (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 12338). Herein, we investigate the reverse process of this sensing mechanism using target analytes to disassemble the orient-aggregated AuNP dimers. This enables us to expand the analytes from oligonucleotides to other molecules, e.g. highly sensitive and selective determination of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is selected for a demonstration in this work. Aptamers specific to the target molecules are used as linkers to prepare the AuNP dimers. In the presence of the target molecule, the aptamer changes its structure to bind the target molecule. Thus the pre-formed AuNP dimers are disassembled. As a result, the solution color is changed from blue to red. This sensing design retains the advantages of the previously developed sensors based on target molecules guided formation of AuNP dimers, e.g. the overwhelming sensitivity and stability comparing with those non-oriented sensors based on the formation of large aggregates, with the additional advantages as follows: 1) the target molecules are expanded from oligonucleotides to arbitrary molecules that can specifically bind to aptamers; 2) the color change is completed within 5 min, while the previous sensor based on the formation of AuNP dimers cost ~1 hour to obtain stable responses.

Abstract
A chiral-aptasensor for ochratoxin A (OTA) detection based on Au core-Ag nanoparticle satellite assemblies was fabricated for the first time. High yields of Au core-Ag NP satellite assemblies were prepared in the aqueous phase and the optical properties of the Au core-Ag NP satellite assemblies were investigated in detail. Because of the different concentrations of the OTA target, the assembly degree of the architecture varied which led to the corresponding chiral signals. The developed method for OTA detection with excellent linear range from 1 to 50pg/mL showed high selectivity for OTA and the limit of detection as low as 0.16pg/mL. The feasibility of this method was demonstrated by performing recovery experiment using negative red wine samples, excellent recovery ranged from 90% to 105% was achieved, and indicated promising applications.

Abstract
The unique optical properties of plasmon resonant nanostructures enable exploration of nanoscale environments using relatively simple optical characterization techniques. For this reason, the field of plasmonics continues to garner the attention of the biosensing community. Biosensors based on propagating surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) in films are the most well-recognized plasmonic biosensors, but there is great potential for the new, developing technologies to surpass the robustness and popularity of film-based SPR sensing. This review surveys the current plasmonic biosensor landscape with emphasis on the basic operating principles of each plasmonic sensing technique and the practical considerations when developing a sensing platform with the various techniques. The 'gold standard' film SPR technique is reviewed briefly, but special emphasis is devoted to the up-and-coming localized surface plasmon resonance and plasmonically coupled sensor technology.

Abstract
Dark-field microscopy (DFM) and spectroscopy base on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) have been widely applied in biological sensing and single-molecule imaging. Using plasmonic nanoparticles with controlled geometrical, optical, and surface chemical properties as the probes, the scattering light depending on the surrounding environment can be detected by DF microscope. Signal-to-noise radio and time resolution of the conventional DFM is not sufficient to identify single molecular dynamics. To break these limitations, significant improvements have been made in recent years. This critical review is focused on the developments of the DFM and the utilization of DFM as a powerful technology in the application of LSPR detection.

Abstract
A strategy for attomolar-level detection of small molecule-size proteins is reported based on Rayleigh light scattering spectroscopy of individual nanoplasmonic aptasensors by exploiting the outstanding characteristics of gold colloids to amplify the nontransparent resonant signal at ultralow analyte concentrations. The fabrication method utilizes thiol-mediated adsorption of a DNA aptamer on the immobilized Au nanoparticle surface, the interfacial binding characteristics of the aptamer with its target molecules, and the antibody-antigen interaction through plasmonic resonance coupling of the Au nanoparticles. Using lysozyme as a model analyte for disease detection, the detection limit of the aptasensor is ∼7 × 10(3) aM, corresponding to the LSPR λmax shift of ∼2.25 nm. Up to a 380% increase in the localized resonant λmax shift is demonstrated upon antibody binding to the analyte compared to the primary response during signal amplification using immunogold colloids. This enhancement leads to a limit of detection of ∼7 aM, which is an improvement of three orders of magnitude. The results demonstrate substantial promise for developing coupled plasmonic nanostructures for ultrasensitive detection of various biological and chemical analytes.

Abstract
Molecule-coated nanoparticles are hybrid materials which can be engineered with novel properties. The molecular coating of metal nanoparticles can provide chemical functionality, enabling assembly of the nanoparticles that are important for applications, such as biosensing devices. Herein, we report a new self-assembly of core-satellite gold nanoparticles linked by a simple amino acid l-Cysteine for biosensing of Cu(2+). The plasmonic properties of core-satellite nano-assemblies were investigated, a new red shifted absorbance peak from about 600 to 800 nm was found, with specific wavelength depending on ratios with assembly of large and small gold nanoparticles. The spectral features obtained using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provided strong evidence for the assembly of the Cu(2+) ions to the L-Cysteine molecules leading to the successful formation of the core-satellite Cu(l-Cysteine) complex on the gold surfaces. In addition, a linear relationship between the concentration of mediating Cu(2+) and absorbance of self-assembled gold nanoparticles (GNPs) at 680 nm was obtained. These results strongly address the potential strategy for applying the functionalized GNPs as novel biosensing tools in trace detections of certain metal ions.

Abstract
In this work, a novel carbon nanotube (CNT)-based multicolor fluorescent peptide nanoprobe is developed for rapid, sensitive, and multiplex detection of cancer-related proteases in homogeneous solution. To prepare the nanoprobe, three peptide substrates, each labeled at the C-terminal with a fluorescent dye (i.e., fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), cyanine dye Cy3, cyanine dye Cy5), that respond to one of three different proteases are co-conjugated to the surface of CNTs. This conjugation brings the dyes into the proximity of the CNT surface, which leads to significantly quenched fluorescence due to highly efficient long-range energy transfer from the dyes to CNTs. However, upon incubation with the targeted proteases, specific peptide cleavage occurs and releases the dyes from the CNT surface, which results in the fluorescence recovery that provides the basis for a quantitative measurement of protease activity. With the use of three cancer-related proteases, matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), as the proof-of-concept analytes, the nanoprobe could simultaneously detect these proteases with high sensitivity and specificity. The limits of detection for this method are obtained in the range 0.5 pg mL-1 to 500 pg mL-1, which are two orders of magnitude lower than many previously reported methods. Moreover, the suitability of this CNT-based sensing platform for complex biological sample analysis has also been demonstrated. This approach holds great promise as a routine tool for the high-throughput screening of proteases in proteomics and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
Early cancer diagnosis is very important for the prevention or mitigation of metastasis. However, effective and efficient methods are needed to improve the diagnosis and assessment of cancer. Here, we report a single-step detection method using a nanoplasmonic aptamer sensor (aptasensor), targeting a vascular endothelial growth factor-165 (VEGF(165)), a predominant biomarker of cancer angiogenesis. Our single-step detection is accomplished by (1) specific target recognition by an aptamer-target molecule interaction and (2) direct readouts of the target recognition. The readout is achieved by inactivation of surface plasmon enhancement of fluorescent probes preattached to the aptamers. Our aptasensor provides the appropriate sensitivity for clinical diagnostics with a wide range of linear detection from 25 pg/mL to 25 μg/mL (=from 1.25 pM to 1.25 μM), high specificity for VEGF(165) against PDGF-BB, osteopontin (OPN), VEGF(121), NaCl, and temporal/thermal/biological stability. In experiments with 100% serum and saliva from clinical samples, readouts of the aptasensor and an ELISA for VEGF(165) show good agreement within the limit of the ELISA kit. We envision that our developed aptasensor holds utilities for point-of-care cancer prognostics by incorporating simplicity in detection, low-cost for test, and required small sample volumes.
