Abstract
Fibrinogen-modified gold nanoparticles (Fib-AuNPs) and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate besides hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were applied for assessment of the biomarker thrombin. Fib-AuNPs have catalytic active sites for the oxidation of TMB besides H2O2 and cause the color change of the substrate. Moreover, they can lead to the enhancement in the absorption wavelengths of 650 and 370 nm. By the addition of thrombin to Fib-AuNPs, fibrinogen turns into fibrin, and AuNPs are surrounded by fibrin. Therefore, their active catalytic sites for the oxidation of TMB besides H2O2 are covered by fibrin and cannot cause color change and absorption increase as before. The relationship between the average variations of the color intensity and changes in the absorption wavelengths at 650 and 350 nm with different concentrations of bovine thrombin added to Fib-AuNPs was studied. In such manner, three sensitive colorimetric approaches have been developed for the identification of bovine thrombin with the linear range of 20-120 pM and the limit of detection (LOD) of 17.54 pM for the average color intensity (G + B), the linear range of 20-120 pM and the LOD of 13.41 pM for the absorption peak at 650 nm, and the linear range of 40-140 pM with the LOD of 18.85 pM for absorption peak at 370 nm. The practical application of this biosensing platform was indicated through the successful determination of bovine thrombin in bovine serum. The satisfactory RSD ( < 10%) and recovery values (99.11-107.61%) confirmed the feasibility of the fabricated sensor.

Abstract
Fibrinogen, a circulating glycoprotein in the blood, is a potential biomarker of various health conditions. This work reports a flexible electrochemical sensor based on Ni-Fe layered double hydroxide (Ni-Fe LDH) coated on Nickel foam (Ni-Fe LDH/NF) to detect fibrinogen in simulated human body fluid (or blood plasma). The nanoflakes like morphology and hexagonal crystal structure of LDH, synthesized via urea hydrolysis assisted precipitation technique, are revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) techniques, respectively. The fabricated sensor exhibits linearity in a wide dynamic range covering the physiological concentration, from 1 ng ml-1to 10 mg ml-1, with a sensitivity of 0.0914 mA (ng/ml)-1(cm)-2. This LDH-based sensor is found to have a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.097 ng ml-1and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.294 ng ml-1(S/N = 3.3). The higher selectivity of the sensor towards fibrinogen protein is verified in the presence of various interfering analytes such as dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, glucose, potassium, chloride, and magnesium ions. The sensor is successful in the trace-level detection of fibrinogen in simulated body fluid with excellent recovery percentages ranging from 99.5% to 102.5%, proving the synergetic combination of 2D Ni-Fe layered double hydroxide and 3D nickel foam as a promising platform for electrochemical sensing that has immense potential in clinical applications.

Pulsed laser irradiation induces the generation of alloy cluster ions for the screening of protease activity. Biosens Bioelectron 2022; 216:114615.

Abstract
Pulsed laser irradiation can cause the fragmentation of nanoparticles, which generates cluster ions. This allows nanoparticles to be adopted as mass tag/signal amplifiers in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) bioassays. Herein, we demonstrate the potential of using the signal from alloy cluster ions in bioassays through a fibrin clot model to determine the activity of thrombin. A mixed solution of silver and gold nanoparticles functionalized with fibrinogen (Fg‒Ag NPs/Fg‒Au NPs) treated with thrombin can form clots composed of aggregated fibrin-Au NPs/Ag NPs. These clots analyzed with LDI-MS are noted to form intense Ag-Au alloy cluster ions, especially [Ag2Au]+, which were used to detect thrombin concentration with a dynamic range of 2.5-50 pM in human plasma. This sensing platform was further employed for the screening of direct thrombin inhibitors. This work developed a novel bioassay utilizing metallic gas-phase reactions generated from pulsed laser irradiation of aggregated nanoparticles to monitor enzymatic activity and to screen inhibitors. We believe that LDS-MS can serve as a new platform for gas-phase reaction-based bioassays.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with high specificity and sensitivity is one of the most popular techniques for detecting carbendazim (CBD), a commonly used benzimidazole fungicide in agriculture. However, the traditional ELISA based on the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) system for CBD only displays the yellow color of TMB2+ from deep to light, making it difficult for the naked eye to judge whether CBD in fruits and vegetables exceeds the maximum residue limit. In this article, we intend to improve the traditional ELISA method to establish a multicolor signal output ELISA to achieve visual semiquantitative detection of CBD. This method is based on the optical properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs). After introducing AuNRs into TMB2+ solution, which was produced by the HRP-TMB system of traditional ELISA, AuNRs were quickly etched by TMB2+. Consequently, the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance peak of AuNRs shows a clear blue shift and a vivid color change. Different concentrations of CBD generate different amounts of TMB2+, which in turn leads to different etching degrees of AuNRs, and ultimately results in a rainbow-like color change. As a result, CBD from 0.08 to 100 ng mL-1 can be easily distinguished by the naked eye, which does not require any large instruments. Moreover, the colors displayed by 0.49 ng mL-1 (purple) and 0 ng mL-1 (pink) are significantly different from each other. It should be noted that 0.49 ng mL-1 is far below the most stringent maximum residue limit of CBD in the world. Additionally, the quantitative determination of CBD spiked in canned citrus, citrus fruits, chives, and cabbage samples showed satisfactory recoveries. The good performance of the AuNR-based ELISA makes it have a wide range of application prospects in food safety and international trade.

Abstract
This study demonstrated a measurement approach for biomolecules at the picoliter scale, using a newly developed picoliter cuvette inside an optical fiber constructed via near-ultraviolet femtosecond laser drilling. The sensing capacity was estimated to be within 0.4-1.2 pL due to an optical path length of 3-5 microns, as measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The picoliter cuvette exhibited a change in the optical extinction spectrum after addition of biomolecules such as L-cysteine, in conjunction with a gold nanoparticle (GNP) dispersion solution, following a simple measurement configuration involving a small white light source and a compact spectrometer. A linear attenuation of the spectral dip near a wavelength of 520 nm was observed as the L-cysteine concentration was increased at 4 wt% of the GNP mass concentration. The measurement resolution of the concentration using the picoliter cuvette was evaluated at 0.125 mM. The experimental results showed the difference in aggregation processes caused by a different concentration of GNPs. Moreover, they revealed the ability of the picoliter cuvette to verify whether the concentration of GNPs in the liquid sample correspondingly determines homogeneous or inhomogeneous GNP aggregation, as supported by SEM observation and numerical calculations based on Mie theory.

Abstract
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in abiotic stress response and physiological signal transduction resisting to the adverse environment. Therefore, it is very essential for the quantitative detection of abscisic acid (ABA) due to its indispensable role in plant physiological activities. Herein, a new detection method based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed without using expensive instrument and antibody. In the presence of ABA, ABA specifically bind with their aptamers to form the ABA-aptamer complexes with G-quadruplex-like structure and lose the ability to stabilize AuNPs against NaCl-induced aggregation. Meanwhile, the changes of the LSPR spectra of AuNP solution occur and therefore the detection of ABA achieved. Under optimized conditions, this method showed a good linear range covering from 5×10-7 M to 5×10-5 M with a detection limit of 0.33 μM. In practice, the usage of this novel method has been demonstrated by its application to detect ABA from fresh leaves of rice with the relative error of 6.59%-7.93% compared with ELISA bioassay. The experimental results confirmed that this LSPR-based biosensor is simple, selective and sensitive for the detection of ABA. The proposed LSPR method could offer a new analytical platform for the detection of other plant hormones by changing the corresponding aptamer.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) with pyridyl end-capped polystyrenes (PS-4VP) as "quasi-monodentate" ligands self-assemble into ordered PS-4VP/AuNP nanostructures with 3D hexagonal spatial order in the dried solid state. The key for the formation of these ordered structures is the modulation of the ratio AuNP versus ligands, which proves the importance of ligand design and quantity for the preparation of novel ordered polymer/metal nanoparticle conjugates. Although the assemblies of PS-4VP/AuNP in dispersion lack in high dimensional order, strong plasmonic interactions are observed due to close contact of AuNP. Applying temperature as an external stimulus allows the reversible distortion of plasmonic interactions within the AuNP nanocomposite structures, which can be observed directly by naked eye. The modulation of the macroscopic optical properties accompanied by this structural distortion of plasmonic interaction opens up very interesting sensoric applications.

Abstract
Thrombin generation (TG) has an important part in the blood coagulation system, and monitoring TG is useful for diagnosing various health issues related to hypo-coagulability and hyper-coagulability. In this study, we constructed probes by using mixed cellulose ester membranes (MCEMs) modified with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for monitoring thrombin activity using laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS). The LDI process produced Au cationic clusters ([Au(n)](+); n = 1-3) that we detected through MS. When thrombin reacted with fibrinogen on the Au NPs-MCEMs, insoluble fibrin was formed, hindering the formation of Au cationic clusters and, thereby, decreasing the intensity of their signals in the mass spectrum. Accordingly, we incorporated fibrinogen onto the Au NPs-MCEMs to form Fib-Au NPs-MCEM probes to monitor TG with good selectivity (>1000-fold toward thrombin with respect to other proteins or enzymes) and sensitivity (limit of detection for thrombin of ca. 2.5 pM in human plasma samples). Our probe exhibited remarkable performance in monitoring the inhibition of thrombin activity by direct thrombin inhibitors. Analyses of real samples using our new membrane-based probe suggested that it will be highly useful in practical applications for the effective management of hemostatic complications.

Aptamers are nucleic acid ligands that are generated artificially by in vitro selection and behave similar to antibodies. The development of aptamer-based sensing systems or strategies has been in vogue for the past few decades, because aptamers are smaller in size, stable, cheaper and undergo easier modifications. Owing to these advantages, several facile aptamer-based colorimetric strategies have been created by controlling the assembly and disassembly of aptamers on unmodified gold nanoparticle probes. As these kinds of assay systems are rapid and can be visualized unaided by instruments, they have recently become an attractive method of choice. The formation of purple-colored aggregates (attraction) from the red dispersed (repulsion) state of GNPs in the presence of mono- or divalent ions is the key principle behind this assay. Due to its simplicity and versatility, this assay can be an alternative to existing diagnostic assays. Here, we have investigated the critical elements involved in colorimetric assays, and have screened different proteins and small ligands to evaluate biofouling on GNPs.

Abstract
Au nanoparticles (NPs) are functionalized with chiral (R) or (S) binaphthol phenylboronic acid ligands, (1a) or (1b). The (R)- or (S)-binaphthol phenylboronic acid ligands form donor-acceptor complexes with the chiral dicationic helicene, helquat (P)-HQ(2+) or (M)-HQ(2+), (2a) or (2b). The association constants between (1a)/(2a) and (1a)/(2b) correspond to (7.0 ± 0.5) × 10(5) M(-1) and (2.5 ± 0.3) × 10(5) M(-1), respectively, whereas the association constants between (1b)/(2b) and (1b)/(2a) correspond to (4.0 ± 0.5) × 10(5) M(-1) and (1.8 ± 0.3) × 10(5) M(-1), respectively. Chiroselective aggregation of chiral binaphthol phenylboronic acid-capped Au NPs triggered by the chiral helquats, is demonstrated.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are intravenously administered to mice. Deposition at the pilosebacious unit and whiskers is visualized with X-ray fluorescence after 30 minutes and 14 days. After 30 minutes the dermal papilla, bulge region, and root sheath all contain NPs. GNPs are driven externally out from follicles, counteractive to transfollicular delivery. After 14 days, gold bands in hairs reflect pharmacokinetic profiles indicating blood concentration kinetics. Elimination rate constants infer half-lives from 3 hairs from an individual mouse within reasonable agreement (6.08, 7.15, and 8.66 hours). 3D reconstruction of NP distributions with confocal microscopy identifies aggregates within the medullary canal. Intermittent NP deposition continues randomly over the two week period demonstrating prolonged NP mobility in vivo. NPs are still retained at the hair bulb after 14 days. The observations further account for the excretory mechanisms of NPs and their behavior in the pilosebacous unit, and demonstrate monitoring pharmacokinetic behavior in individual animals.

Abstract
We report a new adsorbent for removal of mercury species. By mixing Au nanoparticles (NPs) 13 nm in diameter with aluminum oxide (Al(2)O(3)) particles 50-200 μm in diameter, Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbents are easily prepared. Three adsorbents, Al(2)O(3), Au NPs, and Au NP-Al(2)O(3), were tested for removal of mercury species [Hg(2+), methylmercury (MeHg(+)), ethylmercury (EtHg(+)), and phenylmercury (PhHg(+))]. The Au NP adsorbent has a higher binding affinity (dissociation constant; K(d) = 0.3 nM) for Hg(2+) ions than the Al(2)O(3) adsorbent (K(d) = 52.9 nM). The Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbent has a higher affinity for mercury species and other tested metal ions than the Al(2)O(3) and Au NP adsorbents. The Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbent provides a synergic effect and, thus, is effective for removal of most tested metal ions and organic mercury species. After preconcentration of mercury ions by an Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbent, analysis of mercury ions down to the subppq level in aqueous solution was performed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbent allows effective removal of mercury species spiked in lake water, groundwater, and seawater with efficiencies greater than 97%. We also used Al(2)O(3) and Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbents sequentially for selectively removing Hg(2+) and MeHg(+) ions from water. The low-cost, effective, and stable Au NP-Al(2)O(3) adsorbent shows great potential for economical removal of various mercury species.

Abstract
We have developed a colorimetric assay-using aptamer modified 13-nm gold nanoparticles (Apt-Au NPs) and fibrinogen adsorbed Au NPs (Fib-Au NPs, 56nm)-for the highly selective and sensitive detection of platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF). Apt-Au NPs and Fib-Au NPs act as recognition and reporting units, respectively. PDGF-binding-aptamer (Apt(PDGF)) and 29-base-long thrombin-binding-aptamer (Apt(thr29)) are conjugated with Au NPs to prepare functional Apt-Au NPs (Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs) for specific interaction with PDGF and thrombin, respectively. Thrombin interacts with Fib-Au NPs in solutions to catalyze the formation of insoluble fibrillar fibrin-Au NPs agglutinates through the polymerization of the unconjugated and conjugated fibrinogen. The activity of thrombin is suppressed once it interacts with the Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs. The suppression decreases due to steric effects through the specific interaction of PDGF with Apt(PDGF), occurring on the surfaces of Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs. Under optimal conditions [Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs (25pM), thrombin (400pM) and Fib-Au NPs (30pM)], the Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs/Fib-Au NPs probe responds linearly to PDGF over the concentration range of 0.5-20nM with a correlation coefficient of 0.96. The limit of detection (LOD, signal-to-noise ratio=3) for each of the three PDGF isoforms is 0.3nM in the presence of bovine serum albumin at 100μM. When using the Apt(PDGF)/Apt(thr29)-Au NPs as selectors for the enrichment of PDGF and for the removal of interferences from cell media, the LOD for PDGF provided by this probe is 35pM. The present probe reveals that the concentration of PDGF in the three cell media is 230 (±20)pM, showing its advantages of simplicity, sensitivity, and specificity.
