Here, we report a novel type of signal-on dual-potential electrochemiluminescence (ECL) approach for telomerase detection based on bifunctionalized luminol-gold nanoparticles (L-Au NPs). In this approach, CdS nanocrystals (NCs) were first coated on glassy carbon electrode, and then thiol-modified telomerase primer was attached on CdS NCs via Cd-S bond. In the presence of telomerase and dNTPs, the primer could be extended. Telomerase primer would hybridize with its complementary DNA, and the extended part would hybridize with the capture DNA which was tagged with L-Au NPs. In the presence of coreactant H2O2, the L-Au NPs could not only enhance the ECL intensity of CdS NCs at -1.25 V (vs SCE) induced by the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Au NPs but also produce a new ECL signal at +0.45 V (vs SCE) that resulted from luminol in L-Au NPs. Both signals at two potentials increased with the increase of telomerase concentration. This method could be used to detect the telomerase from 100 to 9000 HL-60 cells and investigate the apoptosis of tumor cells. The ratio of the two signal increments (ΔECL(Luminol)/ΔECL(CdS NCs)), which showed a high consistency value for different numbers of cells, could be used to verify the reliability of tests. This dual-potential ECL strategy showed great promise in avoiding false positive or negative results in bioanalysis.

A novel dual-mode electrochemiluminescence (ECL)/photoelectrochemistry (PEC) biosensor was developed for sensitive serotonin detection. In this system, the PEC signal was produced by CdS quantum dots (QDs), while the ECL signal originated from L-Au NPs (luminol decorated Au nanoparticles), thereby avoiding the external interference and signal fluctuations that typically arose from using the same materials for both signals. The presence of target serotonin initiated the non-enzymatic toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction (TSDR) on magnetic bead (MB), which was followed by catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) on the sensing interface, leading to the aggregation of many L-Au NPs.

A versatile green synthesis technique of pulsed laser irradiation and the sonochemical process was used for the production of functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in the presence of lignin matrixes. In this study, the futuristic advantages of the lignin biopolymer were explored for the preparation of zero-valent Au NPs in the absence of any other reducing agents. The resulting lignin functionalized Au NPs (L-Au NPs) were characterized via high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

d-cysteine (d-cys) has been demonstrated to possess an extraordinary antibacterial activity because of its unique steric configuration. However, inefficient antibacterial properties seriously hinder its wide applications. Here, cysteine-functionalized gold nanoparticles (d-/l-Au NPs) were prepared by loading d-/l-cysteine on the surface of gold nanoparticles for the effective inhibition of in vitro and in vivo, and the effects on the intestinal microflora in mice were explored during the treatment of infection in the gut.

A novel spatial-resolved electrochemiluminescent (ECL) ratiometry for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) analysis was developed using resonance energy transfer (RET) and a coreactant consumption strategy for signal amplification. Specifically, the spatial-resolved dual-disk glassy carbon electrodes were modified with CdS nanowires (CdS NWs) and luminol-gold nanoparticles (L-Au NPs) as potential-resolved ECL emitters, respectively. After stepwise immobilization of anti-cTnI and bovine serum albumin on the dual-disk electrodes, the CdS NWs-based electrode, with varied concentrations of cTnI, was used to provide a working signal, whereas the L-Au NPs-based electrode, with a fixed amount of cTnI, was employed to provide the reference signal.

In this work, the ZnO nanostars with excellent catalytic performance were firstly used as the coreaction accelerator of luminol-O system to construct a biosensor for ultrasensitively detecting microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) in cancer cells. Specifically, ZnO nanostars could expedite the reduction of dissolved O, generating more reactive oxygen species (ROSs) to extremely promote electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminous efficiency of luminol. Thus luminol-functionalized Au NPs@ZnO (L-Au NPs@ZnO) nanomaterials were employed as signal probe to fabricate sensing nano-platform for achieving significant ECL emission as "signal on" state.
