A Colorimetric Lead Biosensor Using DNAzyme-Directed Assembly of Gold Nanoparticles

TL;DR: The concept developed here can be applied to the design of nucleic acid enzyme/nanoparticle sensors for analytes that are subject to in vitro selection, and thus can significantly expand the scope of nanomaterial applications and provide a novel approach to designing simple colorimetric biosensors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation of aptamer-linked gold nanoparticle purple aggregates for colorimetric sensing of analytes

TL;DR: A protocol for the preparation of aptamer-linked gold nanoparticle purple aggregates that undergo fast disassembly into red dispersed nanoparticles upon binding of target analytes is described, which has proved to be generally applicable for colorimetric sensing of a broad range of analytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast Colorimetric Sensing of Adenosine and Cocaine Based on a General Sensor Design Involving Aptamers and Nanoparticles

TL;DR: Aptamers are nucleic acid based binding molecules that are obtained through a combinatorial selection process known as systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) and are emerging as a new class of molecules that can rival antibodies in terms of the broad range of molecules they can selectively bind.
