Surface Functionalization of Gold Nanoparticles Using Alkyne Derivatives: Applications in Chemical Sensing.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are critical for chemical sensing and therapeutic applications, necessitating effective surface functionalization for stability in biological environments.
- Traditional methods use thiol groups for bonding, but these can be complex and not resilient to certain conditions, leading to the exploration of alkyne derivatives as a preferable alternative.
- The study shows that alkyne derivatives provide easier preparation, higher stability, and better conjugation efficiency, and highlights their effectiveness in detecting hydrogen peroxide and streptavidin proteins.
