Article Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can be produced by well-assessed synthesis methods and can show a high surface area-to-volume ratio, chemical inertness, high electron density, strong optical absorption as well as low toxicity. AuNPs have been conjugated with many different biomolecules for a wide range of biomedical applications. These applications require an increasingly complex level of surface decoration in order to achieve stability, efficacy, and specific functionalities. This chapter provides detailed instructions about the synthesis of AuNPs and bioconjugation strategies in order to obtain stable hybrid nanomaterials. The described biofunctionalization procedures are based on carbodiimide chemistry and ligand-exchange methods allowing the conjugation of Lys-peptide or Cys-peptide, respectively, to the AuNPs surface.

Copper ions are essential elements in the human body and participate in various physiological activities in the bodies of organisms. Herein, an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor was developed for detection of copper ions (Cu) based on FeO@Au magnetic nanoparticles (FeO@Au MNPs) and a Cu-dependent DNAzyme assisted nicking endonuclease signal amplification (NESA) strategy. dsDNA is formed by a hybridization reaction between DNA S2 and S1 immobilized on the surface of FeO@Au MNPs.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

Background: With the development of modern agriculture, neonicotinoid pesticides have been widely used due to their high efficiency and strong systemic properties. However, excessive use leads to the accumulation of residues in the food chain, threatening the ecosystem and human health. Pesticide residues are easily accumulated in oilseed crops and become concentrated during the edible oil refining process.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

The clinical demand for safer, more precise, and functionally versatile imaging tools has intensified with the increasing complexity of disease diagnosis and management. Despite major strides in imaging technologies such as MRI, CT, USG, and PET/SPECT, many modalities are grappled by issues including low specificity, high systemic toxicity of contrast agents, and limited ability to provide real-time functional data. Dreaded by these shortcomings, nanotechnology-based approaches such as liposomes, quantum dots (QDs), polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), gold NPs, lipid NPs, and metallic NPs have emerged as promising alternatives.
