A biosensor based on a combination of cytochrome c (Cyt c), electrochemical reduced graphene oxides (ERGO), and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was fabricated. The proposed biosensor electrode was denoted as GCE/ERGO-Nafion/AuNPs/Cyt c/Nafion, where ERGO-Nafion was deposited by dropping graphene oxides-Nafion mixed droplet first and following electrochemical reduction, AuNPs were directly deposited on the surface of the ERGO-Nafion modified electrode by electrochemical reduction, and other components were deposited by the dropping-dry method. The effect of the deposition amount of AuNPs on direct electrochemistry of Cyt c in the proposed electrode was investigated. The hydrogen peroxide was taken to evaluate the performance of the proposed biosensor. The results showed that the biosensor has great analytical performance, including a high sensitivity, a wide linear range, a low detection limit, and good stability, reproducibility, and reliability.

<p>The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a pandemic which not only created a situation of dealing with public health emergency but also triggered the financial crisis of international concern. The current situation demands rapid, convenient and reliable diagnosis of the disease to downregulate its spread. Primary method of diagnosis presently being used, such as nucleic acid testing (RT-PCR), CT scans etc. involve time-consuming advanced machinery for imaging/ RNA replication and highly skilled technicians which could be only done in a laboratory set-up. A rapid, simple yet selective naked eye detection methodology that does not require any advanced instrumental techniques is highly desirable. </p> <p>In this study, we report computational results which could form the basis of a simple and rapid strategy for the detection of SARS-Cov-2 using peptide (screened from angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor of host cell) functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNPs). This is based on the preferential binding of viral spike (S) protein to ACE2 receptor situated on the surface of the host cell membrane by which the virus gains access to the host cell. The interaction of peptide coated GNPs with spike protein has been investigated using coarse grained molecular dynamic simulations. The potential of mean force calculation of spike protein confirmed strong binding between peptide and receptor binding domain (RBD) of spike protein. The results presented here demonstrate the potential of this peptide coated GNPs-based system in the development of convenient sensors for the clinical diagnosis. </p>

Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) incorporated into hydrotalcite (HT), provide an interesting type of pigment in which temperature can modulate the plasmon resonance and the aggregation phenomenon. As inferred from microscopy techniques, the preferential binding sites are located at the border of the HT external basal surface, leading to aggregates of gold nanoparticles displaying characteristic plasmon resonance and interference bands around 520 and 700 nm, respectively. The thermally induced color changes in the HT-supported gold material arise from the competition between of nanoparticles aggregation and fusion processes, as characterized by TEM and STM. A laser beam can also induce such changes, allowing the writing of optical information on this type of material.
