A colorimetric assay and MCR-ALS analysis of the peroxidase-like activity of poly (N-phenylglycine) functionalized with polyethylene glycol (PNPG-PEG) nanozyme for the determination of dopamine.

This report describes, for the first time, the coupling of UV-visible spectroscopy with multivariate curve resolution-alternative least-squares (MCR-ALS) algorithm to study peroxidase-like catalytic reaction of polyethylene glycol-functionalized poly (N-phenyl glycine) (PNPG-PEG) as an efficient and intrinsic peroxidase mimic activity (PMA) class of conducting organic polymer for selective detection of dopamine (DA) in the PNPG-PEG + TMB + HO reaction system. PNPG-PEG was produced by means of a chemical route using ammonium persulphate (APS) as an oxidant agent of N-phenyl glycine monomer. The chemical composition, morphology, and thermal behavior of PNPG-PEG were examined by various instrumental techniques.

Colorimetric assay for the detection of dopamine using bismuth ferrite oxide (BiFeO) nanoparticles as an efficient peroxidase-mimic nanozyme.

This work describes the preparation of ternary bismuth ferrite oxide nanoparticles (BiFeO NPs) with an enzyme mimetic activity for dopamine (DA) qualitative and quantitative detection. BiFeO NPs were prepared using a facile, low cost, and one-pot hydrothermal treatment. The chemical composition, morphology, and optical properties of BiFeO nanozyme were characterized using different techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic light scattering (DLS), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) imaging, FESEM-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), UV-vis absorption, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy.

PARAFAC study of L-cys@CdTe QDs interaction to BSA, cytochrome c and trypsin: An approach through electrostatic and covalent bonds.

Utilizing fluorescence spectroscopy, non-covalent and covalent interactions of L-cys@CdTe quantum dots to bovine serum albumin (BSA), cytochrome c and trypsin were investigated. L-cys@CdTe QDs with the emission maximum at 530 nm and an average diameter of 2.6 nm were synthesized in the aqueous medium.
