Thermally treated bare gold nanoparticles for colorimetric sensing of copper ions
We demonstrate a sensitive and rapid colorimetric assay for selective detection of copper ions based on the strong coordination between Cu(II) ions and the tetrahydroxyaurate anions [Au(OH)4]− on the surface of t...

Preparation of strongly fluorescent water-soluble dithiothreitol modified gold nanoclusters coated with carboxychitosan, and their application to fluorometric determination of the immunosuppressive 6-mercaptopurine
Water-soluble and non-aggregating gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) were obtained by modification of the AuNCs with dithiothreitol (DTT) and then coating them with carboxylated chitosan. This process remarkably enhanc...

Colorimetric tyrosinase assay based on catechol inhibition of the oxidase-mimicking activity of chitosan-stabilized platinum nanoparticles
It is found that catechol inhibits the oxidase-mimicking activity of chitosan-protected platinum nanoparticles (Chit-PtNPs) by competing with the substrate for the active site of the Ch-PtNPs. The inhibition m...

Improved enzymatic assay for hydrogen peroxide and glucose by exploiting the enzyme-mimicking properties of BSA-coated platinum nanoparticles
Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) covered with a bovine serum albumin scaffold and a particle size of 1.5 nm (BSA-PtS NPs) are shown to display enhanced multiple enzyme-mimicking activities including peroxidase, ox...
