Article Abstract
To characterise bioelectrocatalytic oxygen reduction at gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) modified with Trametes hirsuta laccase (ThLc) combined electrochemical and quartz crystal microbalance measurements have been used. The electrodes with different degrees of AuNP-monolayer coverage, θ, have been studied. In every case of θ close to theoretically possible 44 ThLc molecules adsorbed at 22nm diameter AuNP. The bioelectrocatalytic current was recalculated down to the current at a single AuNP. Unexpectedly, the current at a single AuNP was higher when θ was higher. The maximum current reached at a single AuNP was 31·10(-18)A which corresponds to the enzyme turnover (kcat) 13s(-1). This rate is lower than the homogeneous ThLc turnover (190s(-1)) suggesting partial denaturation of ThLc upon adsorption or that some ThLc are not in DET contact with the electrode surface.

Detecting single point mutations, such as PIK3CA mutations, is vital for precision diagnostics but remains challenging due to subtle sequence differences. This study introduces a machine learning-assisted colorimetric biosensor that utilizes DNA-templated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) growth for sensitive and specific single point mutation detection. The biosensor employs a hairpin DNA probe that selectively hybridizes with mutant PIK3CA sequences.

Noble metal nanostructures are attractive substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) but face persistent challenges in combining efficient hot-spot engineering with scalable fabrication. This paper presents a high-throughput, hot-spot-designable approach for assembling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto micrometer-scale, two-dimensional polymer single-crystal templates, producing ∼10 uniform AuNP assemblies per milliliter. The assemblies, with planar micrometer-scale dimensions, are fully compatible with commercial confocal Raman systems.

Measuring the conformational distribution of small proteins is essential to understanding their role in biological systems. Multi-Tilt Nanoparticle-aided cryo-electron microscopy sampling (MT-NACS) was devised to measure the three-dimensional interparticle distance distribution (P(d)) of two gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) labeled on a protein by taking cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) images at multiple-tilt angles. However, tracking the same particles in a pseudo-tomographic manner during the multi-tilt cryo-EM experiments and data analysis requires extensive time and effort.

Motivated by potential applications in fields such as medicine or materials science, various methodologies have been developed for the preparation of so-called spherical nucleic acids, based on oligonucleotides and metal nanoparticles. Despite optimization through various parameters such as loading efficiency or nanoconjugate stability, much remains to be known regarding the actual conformations of oligonucleotides and their interactions with the nanoparticle surface. We employed a combination of spectroscopic techniques and liquid transmission electron microscopy to analyze the interactions and conformations adopted by polyAdenine (polyA) and polyThymine (polyT) chains in contact with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
