The effective and strong immobilization of enzymes on solid surfaces is required for current biological applications, such as microchips, biofuel cells, and biosensors. Gold-binding polypeptide (GBP), a genetically designed peptide, possesses unique and specific interactions with a gold surface, resulting in improved enzyme stability and activity. Herein we demonstrated an immobilization method for biosensor applications through site-specific interactions between GBP-fused organophosphorus hydrolase (GBP-OPH) and gold nanoparticle-coated chemically modified graphene (Au-CMG), showing enhanced sensing capability. A flow injection biosensor was fabricated by using GBP-OPH/Au-CMG to detect paraoxons, a model pesticide, showing higher sensitivity, lower detection limit and better operating stability compared that of OPH/Au-CMG. This strategy, which integrates biotic and abiotic moieties through site-specific interactions, has a great potential for use in biosensing and bioconversion process.

Metal nanoparticles have drawn great interest due to their unique properties for applications in the fields of catalysis, biomedicine and environmental science depending on the architecture of the metal nanoparticle composites. Amongst different designing routes, the chemical template deposition offers great flexibility in terms of the template selection and interfacial interactions, giving rise to controllable designs. In order to control over nanoparticle size distribution and deposition efficiency, a sonochemical approach has been systematically followed in this study.

Article Synopsis
- - A novel composite nanoenzyme (NH-MIL-101(Fe)@Au@MIP) was developed, combining molecularly imprinted polymers, metal-organic frameworks, and gold nanoparticles to create a highly selective sensor for glutathione (GSH) detection.
- - The inner structure features gold nanoparticles that enhance peroxidase-like activity due to the plasmon resonance effect, allowing the sensor to effectively measure changes in absorbance at 450 nm related to GSH concentrations.
- - The sensor demonstrated excellent performance for GSH detection in a concentration range of 1 to 50 μM, with a low detection limit of 0.231 μM, and proved effective in complex biological samples like fetal bovine
