Abstract
Inspired by natural metallopeptides, our work focuses on engineering self-assembling nanostructures of C2-symmetric metallopeptide conjugates (MPC) from a pyridine-bis-tripeptide bioprobe that uniquely detects lead (Pb2+) ions by emitting a fluorescence signal at 450 nm, which is further intensified in the presence of DAPI (λem = 458 nm), enhancing the bioimaging quality. This study enables precise lead quantification by modulating the ionic conformation and morphology. Experimental and theoretical insights elucidate the nanostructure formation mechanism, laying the groundwork for materials encapsulation and advancing lead detoxification. Our proof-of-principle experiment, demonstrating actin filament recovery in lead-treated cells, signifies therapeutic potential for intracellular lead aggregation and introduces novel avenues in biotechnological applications within biomaterials science.

Picomolar level sensorial dual colorimetric gold nanoparticle sensor for Zn 2+ and Hg 2+ ions synthesized from bark extract of Lannea Grandis Coromandelica and its wide range applications in real sample analysis. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 308:123682.

Abstract
In this work a facile, rapid, reproducible and non-toxic approach has been demonstrated for synthesis of most stable AuNPs from bark extract of Lannea Grandis Coromandelica. UV-Visible spectroscopy, FTIR, TEM, SAED, EDX, XRD, DLS, Zeta Potential, FE-SEM, AFM and XPS techniques were employed for the characterization of synthesized LGC-AuNPs. The UV-Vis spectra of LGC-AuNPs gave SPR peak at 536 nm while the TEM analysis revealed LGC-AuNPs have 20.75 nm size with spherical in shape. DLS study showed the AuNPs have average diameter 50.18 nm. The synthesized AuNPs exhibited very high selectivity, rapid response in recognition towards Zn2+ and Hg2+ ions by changing its color within 20 sec. This proposed sensor can detect very low picomolar level of Zn2+ and Hg2+ ions (LOD value for Zn2+ and Hg2+ were found 1.36 pM and 24.60 pM respectively). Here we also studied effect of several factors such as variation of conc of gold, temperature, incubation time, pH, salt, solvent (polar protic and polar aprotic) to know in which condition AuNPs have high stability and sensitivity. The data revealed that synthesized AuNPs was stable up to two years at pH 6.5 at room temperature in water media and under this condition, it shows maximum sensitivity and reactivity. Moreover, here interference study was carried out to identify high selectivity of synthesized LGC-AuNPs probe in presence of different metal ions. The real sample analyses also revealed the great applicability of this probe. Therefore, this simple, rapid, low-cost, sensing activity appeared to hold great sensibleness for detection of heavy metal ions in real sample.

Abstract
Biological macromolecules such as proteins and DNA are known to self-assemble into various structural moieties with distinct functions. While nucleic acids are the structural building blocks, peptides exemplify diversity as tailorable biochemical units. Thus, combining the scaffold properties of the biomacromolecule DNA and the functionality of peptides could evolve into a powerful method to obtain tailorable nano assemblies. In this review, we discuss the assembly of non-DNA-coated colloidal NPs on DNA/peptide templates using functional anchors. We begin with strategies for directly attaching metallic NPs to DNA templates to ascertain the functional role of DNA as a scaffold. Followed by methods to assemble peptides onto DNA templates to emphasize the functional versatility of biologically abundant DNA-binding peptides. Next, we focus on studies corroborating peptide self-assembling into macromolecular templates onto which NPs can attach to emphasize the properties of NP-binding peptides. Finally, we discuss the assembly of NPs on a DNA template with a focus on the bifunctional DNA-binding peptides with NP-binding affinity (peptide anchors). This review aims to highlight the immense potential of combining the functional power of DNA scaffolds and tailorable functionalities of peptides for NP assembly and the need to utilize them effectively to obtain tailorable hierarchical NP assemblies.

Abstract
The field of therapeutics and diagnostics is advanced by nanotechnology-based approaches including the spatial-temporal release of drugs, targeted delivery, enhanced accumulation of drugs, immunomodulation, antimicrobial action, and high-resolution bioimaging, sensors and detection. Various compositions of nanoparticles (NPs) have been developed for biomedical applications; however, gold NPs (Au NPs) have attracted tremendous attention due to their biocompatibility, easy surface functionalization and quantification. Amino acids and peptides have natural biological activities as such, their activities enhance several folds in combination with NPs. Although peptides are extensively used to produce various functionalities of Au NPs, amino acids have also gained similar interests in producing amino acid-capped Au NPs due to the availability of amine, carboxyl and thiol functional groups. Henceforth, a comprehensive review is needed to timely bridge the synthesis and the applications of amino acid and peptide-capped Au NPs. This review aims to describe the synthesis mechanism of Au NPs using amino acids and peptides along with their applications in antimicrobial, bio/chemo-sensors, bioimaging, cancer therapy, catalysis, and skin regeneration. Moreover, the mechanisms of various activities of amino acid and peptide capped-Au NPs are presented. We believe this review will motivate researchers to better understand the interactions and long-term activities of amino acid and peptide-capped Au NPs for their success in various applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical immunosensors are excellent alternatives to prepare portable platforms used for rapid and inexpensive diagnostic of infectious diseases such as the recently emerged COVID-19. Incorporating synthetic peptides as selective recognition layers combined with nanomaterials such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can significantly enhance the analytical performance of immunosensors. In the present study, an electrochemical immunosensor based on solid-binding peptide was built and evaluated towards SARS-CoV-2 Anti-S antibodies detection. The peptide used as recognition site has two important portions: one based on the viral receptor binding domain (RBD), capable of recognizing antibodies of the spike protein (Anti-S), and another suitable for interacting with gold nanoparticles. Gold-binding peptide (Pept/AuNP) dispersion was used directly to modify a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPE). The voltammetric behavior of the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- probe after every construction and detection step was recorded using cyclic voltammetry by assessing the stability of the Pept/AuNP as a recognition layer onto the electrode surface. Differential pulse voltammetry was used as a detection technique, and a linear working range from 75 ng mL-1 to 15 μg mL-1 was established, with 1.059 μA dec-1 of sensitivity and R2 = 0.984. The response selectivity against SARS-CoV-2 Anti-S antibodies was investigated in presence of concomitant species. The immunosensor was used to detect SARS-CoV-2 Anti-spike protein (Anti-S) antibodies in human serum samples, successfully differentiating between negative and positive responses of samples at a 95% confidence level. Therefore, the gold-binding peptide is a promising tool to be applied as a selective layer for antibody detection.

Abstract
Water contamination due to the presence of lead is one of the leading causes of environmental and health hazards because of poor soil and groundwater waste management. Herein we report the synthesis of functionally modified luminescent carbon quantum dots (CQDs) obtained from watermelon juice as potential nanomaterials for the detection of toxic Pb2+ ions in polluted water and cancer cells. By introducing surface passivating ligands such as ethanolamine (EA) and ethylenediamine (ED) in watermelon juice, watermelon-ethanolamine (WMEA)-CQDs and watermelon-ethylenediamine (WMED)-CQDs exhibited a remarkable ~10-fold and ~6-fold increase in fluorescence intensity with respect to non-doped WM-CQDs. The relative fluorescence quantum yields of WMEA-CQDs and WMED-CQDs were found to be 8% and 7%, respectively, in an aqueous medium. Among various functionally-modified CQDs, only WMED-CQDs showed high selectivity towards Pb2+ ions with a remarkably good limit of detection (LoD) of 190 pM, which is less than that of the permissible limit (72 nM) in drinking water. The functionally altered WMED-CQDs detected Pb2+ metal ions in polluted water and in a human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa), thus advocating new vistas for eco-friendly nanomaterials for their use as diagnostic tools in the environment and biomedical research areas.

Abstract
The progress in the innovative nanocrystal synthesis process by using environmentally benign and low-priced nontoxic chemicals, solvents, and renewable sources remains a challenging task for researchers worldwide. The majority of the existing synthesis techniques engage in the potentially dangerous, for either human health or the environment. Current investigation has been centered on green synthesis processes to create novel nanomaterials, which are eco-friendly as well as safer for sustainable marketable feasibility. The current work provides the green synthesis method for gold nanoparticle (GNPs) synthesis using Commiphora myrrh (C.myrrh) extract. This simple method includes 6 ml of HAuCl4·3H2O treated with 4 ml C.myrrh extract having pH 4.5 after 80 min at 25 °C temperature. In this novel method, green synthesized GNPs characterized by UV-Vis, X_ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), zeta potential, fourier transform infrared (FT_IR), high_resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR_TEM), energy dispersive X_ray spectroscopy (EDXA), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). During the development successful antioxidant assay, the DPPH assay was applied. The cell toxicity of green synthesized GNPs was evaluated following an MTT assay against HCT-116 (colon cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer). Besides molecular docking in the δ-elemene for inhibitor to VEGFR-2 domain revealed more negative docking score (-3.976) which is an excellent binding affinity to the C.myrrh@GNP. The synthesized GNPs showed antidiabetic, antibiotic, and antibacterial properties and anti_inflammatory inhibition against inhibiting COX-1, and COX-2 enzymes. In addition, molecular docking by Lindestrene (-3.806) and Furanoeudesma-1,3-dien (-3.912) against COX1 and COX2 respectively showed strong binding affinity. The molecular docking study evidenced the anti-inflammatory and cell toxicity study.

Abstract
Simple Summary Although various malignant tumors express high levels of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and though its role in tumor progression is well-defined, there is a lack of sensing techniques to target LOX. This study highlights the application of peptide-functionalized gold nanoprobes for sensing the LOX levels in tumor microenvironments. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in these nanoprobes aggregate upon exposure to LOX, resulting in a red shift of the surface plasmon resonance peak, accompanied by a characteristic color change. This colorimetric assay based on peptide-functionalized AuNP sensitively detects LOX secreted from various cancer cells not only in vitro but also in the tissue extract. In this study, the suggested analytical approach demonstrated high specificity to LOX and did not show any color change in the presence of other enzymes. Abstract High LOX levels in the tumor microenvironment causes the cross-linking of extracellular matrix components and increases the stiffness of tumor tissue. Thus, LOX plays an important role in tumorigenesis and in lowering the tumor response to anticancer drugs. Despite comprehensive efforts to identify the roles of LOX in the tumor microenvironment, sensitive and accurate detection methods have not yet been established. Here, we suggest the use of gold nanoparticles functionalized with LOX-sensitive peptides (LS-AuNPs) that aggregate upon exposure to LOX, resulting in a visual color change. LOX-sensitive peptides (LS-peptides) contain lysine residues that are converted to allysine in the presence of LOX, which is highly reactive and binds to adjacent allysine, resulting in the aggregation of the AuNPs. We demonstrated that the synthesized LS-AuNPs are capable of detecting LOX sensitively, specifically both in vitro and in the tissue extract. Moreover, the suggested LS-AuNP-based assay is more sensitive than commonly employed assays or commercially available kits. Therefore, the LS-AuNPs developed in this study can be used to detect LOX levels and can be further used to predict the stiffness or the anticancer drug resistance of the tumor.

Abstract
In this study, we show that maltose-binding protein (MBP) is capable of facilitating stable gold nanoparticle synthesis, and a structure of MBP in the presence of gold ions was determined by X-ray crystallography. Using this high-resolution structure of gold ion bound MBP, a peptide (AT1) was selected and synthesized and was shown to also aid in the synthesis of stable gold nanoparticles under similar experimental conditions to those used for protein facilitated synthesis. This structure-based approach represents a new potential method for the selection of peptides capable of facilitating stable nanoparticle synthesis.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, graphene oxide, transition metal oxide, MXene and others have shown high potential for the design and fabrication of various sensors and biosensors due to their 2D layered structure and unique properties. Compared to traditional fluorescent, electrochemical, and electrical biosensors, colorimetric biosensors exhibit several advantages including naked-eye determination, low cost, quick response, and easy fabrication. In this review, we present recent advances in the design, fabrication, and applications of 2D material-based high-performance colorimetric biosensors. Potential colorimetric sensing mechanisms and optimal material selection as well as sensor fabrication are introduced in brief. In addition, colorimetric biosensors based on different 2D materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenide/oxide, MXenes, metal-organic frameworks, and metal nanoplates for the sensitive detection of DNA, proteins, viruses, small molecules, metallic ions, and others are presented and discussed in detail. This work will be helpful for readers to understand the knowledge of 2D material modification, nanozymes, and the synthesis of hybrid materials; meanwhile, it could be valuable to promote the design, fabrication, and applications of 2D material-based sensors and biosensors in quick bioanalysis and disease diagnostics.

J Mol Graph Model 2021; 106:107929. [PMID: 33990059 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmgm.2021.107929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Revised: 04/16/2021] [Accepted: 04/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
A simple cluster-ligand interaction model is introduced to describe the surface passivation of bimetallic gold clusters by SUP (Thioureidopeptide) and SeUP (Selenoureidopeptide) ligands. The conformational search based on neutral peptide binding modes and their computed interaction energies show the existence of various structural isomers within 10 kcal mol-1. Further, the negatively charged deprotonated peptide was found to strongly interact with metal cluster through the carboxylate unit. Irrespective of the mode of binding and configuration the metal cluster found to exist in parent geometry in all three charge states. The calculated HOMO-LUMO gap of ligated clusters predicts an increase in chemical stability after the ligation. Moreover, the ligation was found to decrease the energy required for oxidation and reduction. The excited-state calculations indicate absorption maxima at 200-400 nm corresponds to the LMCT transition. In all the hybrid cluster models the donor and acceptor end of the peptide were found to remain intact. However, the charge migration dynamics observed only in the homo-metallic gold-ligand hybrids, owing to the larger charge separation.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs) have been mainly originated from natural and anthropogenic agents. It has become one of biggest societal issues due to their recognised accumulative and toxic effects in the environment as well as biological media. Key measures are required to reduce the risks posed by toxic metal pollutants existing in the environment. The increased research activities of HMIs detection, and use of technologies based on electrochemical detection that combine with engineered nanomaterials, is a key promising and innovative strategy that can potentially confine heavy metal poisoning. Deep understanding of the characteristics of the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials is highly required. It is also important to interpret the parameters at the nano-bio interface level that merely affect cross-interactions between nanomaterials and HMIs. Therefore, the authors outlined the state-of-the-art techniques that used engineeringly developed nanomaterials to detect HMIs in the environment. The possible novel applications of extensive and relatively low-cost HMIs monitoring and detection are discussed on the basis of these strengths. Finally, it is concluded by providing gist on acquaintance with facts in the present-day scenario along with highlighting areas to explore the strategies to overcome the current limitations for practical applications is useful in further generations of nano-world.

Abstract
Nanozymes are advanced nanomaterials which mimic natural enzymes by exhibiting enzyme-like properties. As nanozymes offer better structural stability over their respective natural enzymes, they are ideal candidates for real-time and/or remote environmental pollutant monitoring and remediation. In this review, we classify nanozymes into four types depending on their enzyme-mimicking behaviour (active metal centre mimic, functional mimic, nanocomposite or 3D structural mimic) and offer mechanistic insights into the nature of their catalytic activity. Following this, we discuss the current environmental translation of nanozymes into a powerful sensing or remediation tool through inventive nano-architectural design of nanozymes and their transduction methodologies. Here, we focus on recent developments in nanozymes for the detection of heavy metal ions, pesticides and other organic pollutants, emphasising optical methods and a few electrochemical techniques. Strategies to remediate persistent organic pollutants such as pesticides, phenols, antibiotics and textile dyes are included. We conclude with a discussion on the practical deployment of these nanozymes in terms of their effectiveness, reusability, real-time in-field application, commercial production and regulatory considerations.

Abstract
Traditional methods for detection of lead ions in water samples are costly and time-consuming. In this work, an accurate smartphone-based colorimetric sensor was developed utilizing a novel machine learning algorithm. In the presence of Pb2+ ions in the solution of specifically functionalized gold nanoparticles, the color of solution turns from red to purple. Indeed, the color variation of the solution is proportional to Pb2+ concentration. The smartphone camera captures the corresponding color change, and the image is processed by an efficient artificial intelligence protocol. The nonlinear regression approach was used for concentration estimation, in which the parameters of the proposed model are obtained using a new feature extraction algorithm. In prediction of Pb2+ concentration, the average absolute error and root-mean-square error were 0.094 and 0.124, respectively. The influence of pH of the medium, temperature, oligonucleotide concentration, and reaction time on the performance of the proposed sensor was carefully investigated and understood to achieve the best sensor response. This novel sensor exhibited good linearity for the detection of Pb2+ in the concentration range of 0.5-2000 ppb with a detection limit of 0.5 ppb.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been extensively used for decades in biosensing-related development due to outstanding optical properties. Peptides, as newly realized functional biomolecules, are promising candidates of replacing antibodies, receptors, and substrates for specific molecular interactions. Both peptides and AuNPs are robust and easily synthesized at relatively low cost. Hence, peptide-AuNP-based bio-nano-technological approaches have drawn increasing interest, especially in the field of molecular targeting, cell imaging, drug delivery, and therapy. Many excellent works in these areas have been reported: demonstrating novel ideas, exploring new targets, and facilitating advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Importantly, some of them also have been employed to address real practical problems, especially in remote and less privileged areas. This contribution focuses on the application of peptide-gold hybrid nanomaterials for various molecular interactions, especially in biosensing/diagnostics and cell targeting/imaging, as well as for the development of highly active antimicrobial/antifouling coating strategies. Rationally designed peptide-gold nanomaterials with functional properties are discussed along with future challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
Heavy metal ion pollution is a severe problem in environmental protection and especially in human health due to their bioaccumulation in organisms. Mercury (II) (Hg2+), even at low concentrations, can lead to DNA damage and give permanent harm to the central nervous system by easily passing through biological membranes. Therefore, sensitive detection and monitoring of Hg2+ is of particular interest with significant specificity. In this review, aptamer-based strategies in combination with nanostructures as well as several other strategies to solve addressed problems in sensor development for Hg2+ are discussed in detail. In particular, the analytical performance of different aptamer and oligonucleotide-based strategies using different signal improvement approaches based on nanoparticles were compared within each strategy and in between. Although quite a number of the suggested methodologies analyzed in this review fulfills the standard requirements, further development is still needed on real sample analysis and analytical performance parameters.

Abstract
A simple colorimetric method has been developed for the detection of lead (Pb2+) in water samples using lipoic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles. The lipoic acid-functionalized gold nanoparticles are induced to aggregate in the presence of the Pb2+ which results in a change in the color of the functionalized gold nanoparticles. The change in color and the amount of Pb2+ producing the change could be monitored via UV-visible spectrophotometry. A good correlation coefficient of 0.9927 was obtained for the calibration curve of the colorimetric method. The method was applied in the determination of Pb2+ in water samples and the results compared to that of measurement carried out with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is one of the most promising methods to detect small molecules for point-of-care analysis as it is rapid, nondestructive, label-free, and applicable for aqueous samples. Here, microgels containing highly concentrated yet evenly dispersed gold nanoparticles are designed to provide SERS substrates that simultaneously achieve contamination-free metal surfaces and high signal enhancement and reproducibility. With capillary microfluidic devices, water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double-emulsion drops are prepared to contain gold nanoparticles and hydrogel precursors in innermost drop. Under hypertonic condition, water is selectively pumped out from the innermost drops. Therefore, gold nanoparticles are gently concentrated without forming aggregates, which are then captured by hydrogel matrix. The resulting microgels have a concentration of gold nanoparticles ≈30 times higher and show Raman intensity two orders of magnitude higher than those with no enrichment. In addition, even distribution of gold nanoparticles results in uniform Raman intensity, providing high signal reproducibility. Moreover, as the matrix of the microgel serves as a molecular filter, large adhesive proteins are rejected, which enables the direct detection of small molecules dissolved in the protein solution. It is believed that this advanced SERS platform is useful for in situ detection of toxic molecules in complex mixtures such as biological fluids, foods, and cosmetics.

Abstract
In this present study, silver nanoparticles (Ag/AgCl NPs) were synthesized using an aqueous leaf extract of Oedera genistifolia as a reducing agent. The biosynthesized Ag/AgCl NPs was characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometry, transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In addition, sequel to antibacterial assay, the cytotoxic effect of the phytofabricated Ag/AgCl NPs was assessed against the HeLa cell line (human cervix adenocarcinoma). The results of the characterization of the synthesized Ag/AgCl NPs indicate the successful synthesis using plant extract as a reducing agent, with UV-Vis spectra between 290-360 nm. TEM results showed that Ag/AgCl NPs was spherical in shape with an average size of 34.2 nm. EDX analysis revealed that the particles were predominantly composed of carbon, oxygen, chlorine, and silver, while FTIR identified major phytochemical compounds, which could be responsible for bio-reducing and capping potential. XRD analysis showed the crystallinity of Ag/AgCl NPs, with a face-centred cubic structure. The studied Ag/AgCl NPs had no cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells and exhibited antibacterial activity (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 0.25-1 mg/mL; minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) 2-16 mg/mL) against both the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria investigated. Findings from this study suggest that this plant as a good candidate for producing new antibacterial drugs.

Noble Metal Nanoparticles-Based Colorimetric Biosensor for Visual Quantification: A Mini Review. CHEMOSENSORS 2019.

Abstract
Nobel metal can be used to form a category of nanoparticles, termed noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs), which are inert (resistant to oxidation/corrosion) and have unique physical and optical properties. NMNPs, particularly gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs and AgNPs), are highly accurate and sensitive visual biosensors for the analytical detection of a wide range of inorganic and organic compounds. The interaction between noble metal nanoparticles (NMNPs) and inorganic/organic molecules produces colorimetric shifts that enable the accurate and sensitive detection of toxins, heavy metal ions, nucleic acids, lipids, proteins, antibodies, and other molecules. Hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and steric effects of inorganic/organic molecules with NMNPs surface can react or displacing capping agents, inducing crosslinking and non-crosslinking, broadening, or shifting local surface plasmon resonance absorption. NMNPs-based biosensors have been widely applied to a series of simple, rapid, and low-cost diagnostic products using colorimetric readout or simple visual assessment. In this mini review, we introduce the concepts and properties of NMNPs with chemical reduction synthesis, tunable optical property, and surface modification technique that benefit the development of NMNPs-based colorimetric biosensors, especially for the visual quantification. The “aggregation strategy” based detection principle of NMNPs colorimetric biosensors with the mechanism of crosslinking and non-crosslinking have been discussed, particularly, the critical coagulation concentration-based salt titration methodology have been exhibited by derived equations to explain non-crosslinking strategy be applied to NMNPs based visual quantification. Among the broad categories of NMNPs based biosensor detection analyses, we typically focused on four types of molecules (melamine, single/double strand DNA, mercury ions, and proteins) with discussion from the standpoint of the interaction between NMNPs surface with molecules, and DNA engineered NMNPs-based biosensor applications. Taken together, NMNPs-based colorimetric biosensors have the potential to serve as a simple yet reliable technique to enable visual quantification.

Abstract
The use of X-ray radiation in radiotherapy is a common treatment for many cancers. Despite several scientific advances, determination of radiation delivered to the patient remains a challenge due to the inherent limitations of existing dosimeters including fabrication and operation. Here, we describe a colorimetric nanosensor that exhibits unique changes in color as a function of therapeutically relevant radiation dose (3-15 Gy). The nanosensor is formulated using a gold salt and maltose-binding protein as a templating agent, which upon exposure to ionizing radiation is converted to gold nanoparticles. The formation of gold nanoparticles from colorless precursor salts renders a change in color that can be observed visually. The dose-dependent multicolored response was quantified through a simple ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and the peak shift associated with the different colored dispersions was used as a quantitative indicator of therapeutically relevant radiation doses. The ease of fabrication, visual color changes upon exposure to ionizing radiation, and quantitative read-out demonstrates the potential of protein-facilitated biomineralization approaches to promote the development of next-generation detectors for ionizing radiation.

Abstract
A photo-Fenton-like process can promote the agglomeration and LSPR red-shifting of ultra-small gold nanoparticles by triggering a crosslink-degradation pathway that involves the surface coating, Fe(iii)-citrate and hydrogen peroxide. Applications may range from controlled photo-deposition of active materials to asynchronous sensing technologies to light-focused microfabrication.

Abstract
The authors report that a marine Shewanella sp. CNZ-1 is capable of producing Au NPs under various conditions. Results showed that initial concentration of Au(III), pH values and electron donors affected nucleation of Au NPs by CNZ-1, resulting in different apparent color of the as-obtained bio-Au NPs, which were further characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, XRD, and XPS analyses. Mechanism studies revealed that Au(III) was first reduced to Au(I) and eventually reduced to EPS-coated Au0 NPs. FTIR and FEEM analyses revealed that some amides and humic acid-like matters were involved in the production of bio-Au NPs through CNZ-1 cells. In addition, the authors also found that the catalytic activity of bio-Au NPs for 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction could be enhanced by various metal ions (Ca2+ , Cu2+ , Co2+ , Fe2+ , Fe3+ , Ni2+ , Sr2+ , and Cr3+ ) and metal oxides (Fe3 O4 , Al2 O3 , and SiO2 ), which is beneficial for their further practical application. The maximum zero-order rate constant k 1 and first-order rate constant k2 of all metal ions/oxides supplemented systems can reach 99.65 mg/(L. min) and 2.419 min-1 , which are 11.3- and 12.6-fold higher than that of control systems, respectively. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
Mercury is a common heavy metal element in natural systems and is highly toxic to the human body. Herein, a novel colorimetric detection of Hg2+ ions is proposed based on the aggregation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) induced by carbon quantum dots (CDs) with the assistance of glutathione (GSH). In this sensing system, the AuNP/CDs composite forms through Au-N bonds. Simultaneously, the color of the solution turns from wine red to blue. The well-dispersed AuNPs can be restored after the addition of GSH, because GSH competes with CDs to bind onto the surface of AuNPs and protect AuNPs from aggregation. In the presence of Hg2+ ions, GSH can chelate with Hg2+ to form a complex, which subsequently enables CDs to facilitate the aggregation of the AuNPs again. Therefore, according to the red-to-blue color change, a colorimetric sensor is established for the sensitive and selective detection of Hg2+ with a detection limit of 7.5 nM. Moreover, this sensor is successfully used to detect Hg2+ spiked in environmental water. This very simple and cost-effective strategy will promote the development of a colorimetric sensor for the determination of other metal ions in biological and environmental fields.

Abstract
Zwitterionic nanoparticles are typically utilized as nanoprobes and delivery vehicles in nanomedicine and therapeutics due to their resistance to interferences. Their high stability also shows great potential to be applied in sensing applications. Here, we report a selective, sensitive and rapid colorimetric sensing of nickel ions (Ni2+) using zwitterionic polypeptide, EKEKEKPPPPC (EK)3, capped gold nanoparticles (AuNP-(EK)3). By taking advantage of the alternate carboxylic (-COOH)/amine (-NH2) groups, the zwitterionic peptide can function dually by being able to sense metal ions and maintain colloidal stability. Ni2+ can trigger the aggregation of the AuNP-(EK)3 nanoprobe, which results in a red-to-purple color change of the AuNP-(EK)3 solution. Our 40 nm AuNP-(EK)3 nanoprobe can detect Ni2+ as low as 34 nM within 15 min with a linear range of 60-160 nM, and is stable in soil, urine and water samples. We demonstrate that the aggregation mechanism of the nanoprobe is due to the interactions between the -NH2 group of glutamic acid at the N-terminus of the peptide and Ni2+, and the aggregation process is reversible. Furthermore, the slight modification of two amino acid sequences at the N-terminus allows the nanoprobe to retain its stability, even in a high ionic strength medium. We believe that by adjusting or extending the peptide sequences, new metal ion selective peptides could be created.

Abstract
Colloidal gold solutions have been used for centuries in a wide variety of applications including staining glass and in the colouring of ceramics. More recently, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been studied extensively due to their interesting size-dependent electronic and optical properties. GNPs can be functionalized easily with biomolecules that contain thiols, amines, or even phosphine moieties. For example, the reaction of thiol-containing peptides with GNPs has been used extensively to prepare novel hybrid materials for biomedical applications. A range of different types of peptides can be used to access biomaterials that are designed to perform a specific role such as cancer cell targeting. In addition, specific peptide sequences that are responsive to external stimuli (e.g. temperature or pH) can be used to stabilise/destabilise the aggregation of colloidal GNPs. Such systems have exciting potential applications in the field of colorimetric sensing (including bio-sensing) and in targeted drug delivery platforms. In this review, we will give an overview of the current methods used for preparing peptide functionalized GNPs, and we will discuss their key properties outlining the various applications of this class of biomaterial. In particular, the potential applications of peptide functionalized GNPs in areas of sensing and targeted drug delivery will be discussed.

Abstract
Biomimetic methods for the preparation and application of inorganic nanomaterials represent a unique avenue to sustainably generating functional materials with long-term activity. Typically, for the fabrication of these structures, the peptide is mixed with metal ions in solution prior to the addition of an exogenous reductant such as NaBH4, leading to nanoparticle nucleation and growth. In biological systems, strong reductants such as NaBH4 are not available, thus different metal ion reduction methods must be exploited. Recent work has shown that the AuBP1 peptide (WAGAKRLVLRRE), a Au binding peptide with an N-terminal tryptophan, can spontaneously reduce Au3+ without an exogenous reductant. Remarkably, this system initially demonstrated the formation of large Au aggregates that disassemble to form individual Au nanoparticles, stabilized by the peptide bound to the inorganic surface. In this contribution, we demonstrate the significant effects of aqueous solvent-processing conditions (pH, ionic strength, and ion composition) on the rate of particle evolution. Understanding how such effects alter the metal ion reduction process and subsequent nanoparticle fabrication is important in controlling the final structure/function relationship of the resultant peptide-capped materials. This work identifies conditions that may enhance nanoparticle synthesis using biomimetic approaches where the peptide has complete control over the complexation, reduction, nucleation, and growth of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Efficiently detecting mechanical deformations within materials is critical in a wide range of devices, from micro-electromechanical systems to larger structures in the aerospace industry. This communication reports the fabrication of new mechanochromic micrometer-size capsules enabling the detection of strains. These microcapsules are synthesized using an emulsification approach. They are made of densely packed gold nanoparticles embedded in a spherical silica crust. Billions of these composite spherical microcapsules are fabricated in a single batch. Each microcapsule is an opto-mechanosensor by itself, and can easily be recovered and incorporated into polymer films. When the films are stretched, the microcapsules are deformed into elongated ellipsoidal shapes and the distance between the Au NPs embedded in their shells concomitantly increases. As the extinction of Au NPs depends on the separation between the Au NPs, microcapsules exhibit different colors when they are elongated. These novel sensitive microcapsules can be used to detect and measure strain in polymer films by outputting color information.

In this report, AuNPs have been characterized on the basis of spectroscopic and microscopic results; which showed selective and sensitive response toward Al3+ in aqueous media, and Al3+ induces aggregation of AuNPs. The sensing study performed for Al3+ revealed that the color change from red to blue was due to a red-shift in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band and the formation of aggregated species of AuNPs. The calibration curve determines the detection limit (LOD) for Al3+ about 20 ppb (0.067 μM) is presented using both decrease and increase in absorbance at 530 and 700 nm, respectively. This value is considerably lower than the higher limit allowed for Al3+ in drinking water by the world health organization (WHO) (7.41 μM), representing enough sensitivity to protect water quality. The intensity of the red-shifted band increases with linear pattern upon the interaction with different concentrations of Al3+, thus the possibility of producing unstable AuNPs aggregates. The method is successfully used for the detection of Al3+ in water samples collected from various sources, human urine and ionic drink. The actual response time required for AuNPs is about 1 min, this probe also have several advantages, such as ease of synthesis, functionalization and its use, high sensitivity, and enabling on-site monitoring.
