ABSTRACTSurface modification is an important part of fabricating nanoparticles with specific properties and functions. We have designed a dipeptide, which we call NS polypeptide, that consists of four asparagine (N) residues and one serine (S) residue, as a molecule for nanoparticle surface modification. Surface modification of magnetic nanoparticles with the NS polypeptide results in reduction of particle-particle and particle-cell interactions. Here, we describe the surface modification and functionalization of bacterial magnetic particles (BacMPs) by spontaneous integration of temporin L conjugated to NS polypeptide. BacMP membranes were modified temporin L. Furthermore, peptide-modified BacMPs showed high dispersibility in aqueous solution compared to unmodified BacMPs. This surface modification technique may represent a new strategy for reducing non-specific binding of nanoparticles to proteins or cells for use in a variety of protein- or cell-associated applications.

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine) is the most frequently used broad-spectrum herbicide worldwide. Its mechanism of action is based on the inhibition of an enzyme that is essential to plant growth. Its intensive use has caused global contamination to occur, which has not only affected the ecosystems, but even food and other objects of common use. Thus, there is a pronounced need for developing analytical methods for glyphosate determination in different matrices. Here, an electrochemical competitive immunoassay, based on the use of antibody-modified magnetic particles, has been developed. Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) has been used as an enzymatic substrate. The extent of the affinity reaction has been achieved by monitoring the current value, due to the reduction of the enzymatic product. A disposable screen-printed electrochemical cell has been used. The calibration curve has been recorded in the 0–10,000 ng/L concentration range, with a detection limit of 5 ng/L and quantification limit of 30 ng/L. The electrochemical immunoassay has also been applied to the analysis of spiked beer samples.
