Article Abstract
In this paper, it has been demonstrated that gold nanoparticles can self-assemble to form network structure in the presence of glutathione, which results in great enhancement of resonance light scattering (RLS). Results from this RLS experiments confirm that RLS is a sensitive and convenient technique for studying the self-assembly of nanoparticles. The principles of the enhanced RLS of nanoparticle assemblies are discussed, and the mechanism of the interaction between gold nanoparticles and glutathione is investigated. The enhanced RLS of gold nanoparticle assemblies directed by glutathione is also successfully applied to sensitive determination of glutathione. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration curve for glutathione determination is linear in concentration range of 0.01-0.1 microg/ml, and the corresponding detection limit is 4.7 ng/ml (3sigma, 15.3 nM).

Adulterated yohimbine (YHB) in food poses a risk to public health, making it imperative to develop fast and sensitive detection methods. In this study, computational-chemistry-based prediction was employed to design YHB haptens for generating the high-affinity monoclonal antibody Yohi-4A7, which exhibited an optimal half-inhibitory concentration (IC) of 1.69 ng/mL against YHB.

Electroactive bacteria (EAB) hold great promise for the development of electrochemical biosensors given their unique ability to transfer electrons extracellularly via specialized pathways, a process termed extracellular electron transfer (EET). Ongoing research aims to overcome current limitations and fully harness the potential of EABs for high-performance biosensing applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of an electrochemical microsensor based on biomineralized electroactive bacteria, specifically MR-1.

Background: Another approach to improve the dose conformity is to use charged particles like protons instead of the conventional X- and γ-rays. Protons exhibit a specific depth-dose distribution which allows to achieve a more targeted dose deposition and a significant sparing of healthy tissue behind the tumor. In particular, proton therapy has, therefore, become a routinely prescribed treatment for tumors located close to sensitive structures.

A novel phthalonitrile derivative (a) containing three functional groups (hexyl, aminated ester, phenoxy) was synthesized and subsequently cyclotetramerized in the presence of the corresponding metal chloride salts to obtain hexadeca-substituted metal {M = Cu(II) and Co(II)} phthalocyanines (b and c). The water-soluble phthalocyanines (d and e) were prepared by treating the newly synthesized complexes (b and c) with methyl iodide. Moreover, gold nanoparticles (1) and silver nanoparticles (2) were prepared, and their surfaces were modified with quaternary phthalocyanines (d and e).

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has shown potential for early disease diagnosis via urinary metabolomics, but still faces challenges in achieving stable hot spots and processing complex clinical data. In this study, the preparation of chiral gold nanostars with precisely controllable branch size, number, and sharpness was realized by investigating the effects of l-GSH and CTA ( indicates halides) on site occupancy, reduction rate, and selective adsorption on crystal facets. Raman spectroscopic characterization using rhodamine 6G (R6G) as a reporter molecule revealed that nanoparticles with fewer branches, larger branch bases, and smoother surfaces exhibited excellent SERS activity, with an analytical enhancement factor (AEF) of 5.
