We developed novel protein biosensors using gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and aptamers. Aptamer-immobilized GNPs with DNA-modified surfaces demonstrated superior protein detection capabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) offer unique optical properties for biosensing.
  • Aptamers provide high specificity for target molecule recognition.
  • Developing efficient protein biosensors remains a key challenge in diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and optimize protein biosensors utilizing GNPs and aptamers.
  • To investigate the impact of experimental design on biosensor performance.
  • To identify optimal conditions for aptamer-mediated protein detection.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of DNA-modified gold nanoparticles (GNPs).
  • Immobilization of aptamers onto GNP surfaces.
  • Evaluation of protein recognition using fluorescence quenching.

  • Optimization of parameters including DNA-GNP interaction, temperature, and aptamer microenvironment.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed biosensor effectively utilizes GNPs as fluorescence quenchers and aptamers as probes.
    • Experimental design significantly influences the protein recognition ability of the biosensor.
    • Aptamer-immobilized GNPs with dye-labeled DNA (Ap-Im-GNPs) exhibited the best protein detection performance.

    Conclusions:

    • A novel protein biosensor architecture based on aptamer-functionalized GNPs was successfully developed.
    • Optimization of experimental conditions is crucial for enhancing biosensor sensitivity and specificity.
    • The Ap-Im-GNPs approach shows significant promise for sensitive and selective protein detection.
