Article Synopsis
- A new method uses multifunctional trimetallic nanoparticles (Ag@FeO@Au NPs) to enhance the detection of norovirus in complicated fecal samples through nanocatalyst-based immunoassays.
- These nanoparticles, featuring a silver core with an iron oxide shell and gold accents, display improved catalytic properties for converting a colored chemical (4-nitrophenol) into a colorless one.
- The immunoassay developed using these nanoparticles achieved very low detection limits for norovirus components, but required heating of the samples to maintain protein integrity for accurate results.
A facile and general strategy has been employed to develop highly-active nanozyme for immunoassay purposes. The hollow nanostructure of the CoO nanocages (NCs) was anchoring the platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) enclosed by the exposed oxides framework nd formed PtNPs@CoO NCs. The embodiment of PtNPs was considered an ideal hybrid nanozyme that efficiently catalyzed the oxidation of the substrate molecules with enhanced activity.

In addition, sharing the same transmission media and similar symptoms at the early stage of infection of these diseases has become more critical for early diagnosis. To overcome this, a common platform that can identify the virus with high sensitivity and selectivity, even for the different serotypes, is in high demand.
