Abstract. The purpose of the present research was to design a method for the colorimetric determination of L-cysteine. We have employed PVA capped gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as a probe. The as-synthesized GNPs were further characterized by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Zeta potential analyser. The results show that the presence of L-cysteine caused the quenching of the surface plasmon resonance band of the GNPs at 524 nm. It was accompanied by the appearance of a new absorbance of a new absorbance band at 670 nm. The color of the colloidal GNPs changed from wine red to blue. The change in color of the GNPs was due to their aggregation induced by the presence of L-cysteine. Based on these observations, the as-synthesized GNPs were utilized to develop a novel colorimetric sensor for L-cysteine detection in food samples. Significantly, other biomolecules such as alanine, proline, phenylalanine, tryptophane, valine, arginine, glutamic acid, lysine and histidine did not cause any change in the color of the GNPs solutions. This colorimetric probe showed excellent selectivity and high sensitivity for L-cysteine with a detection limit of 2.0 μg mL-1.

Digital microfluidic (DMF) has been a unique tool for manipulating micro-droplets with high flexibility and accuracy. To extend the application of DMF for automatic and in-site detection, it is promising to introduce colorimetric sensing based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which have advantages including high sensitivity, label-free, biocompatibility, and easy surface modification. However, there is still a lack of studies for investigating the movement and stability of AuNPs for in-site detection on the electrowetting-based digital microfluidics. Herein, to demonstrate the ability of DMF for colorimetric sensing with AuNPs, we investigated the electrowetting property of the AuNPs droplets on the hydrophobic interface of the DMF chip and examined the stability of the AuNPs on DMF as well as the influence of evaporation to the colorimetric sensing. As a result, we found that the electrowetting of AuNPs fits to a modified Young–Lippmann equation, which suggests that a higher voltage is required to actuate AuNPs droplets compared with actuating water droplets. Moreover, the stability of AuNPs was maintained during the processing of electrowetting. We also proved that the evaporation of droplets has a limited influence on the detections that last several minutes. Finally, a model experiment for the detection of Hg2+ was carried out with similar results to the detections in bulk solution. The proposed method can be further extended to a wide range of AuNPs-based detection for label-free, automatic, and low-cost detection of small molecules, biomarkers, and metal ions.

In this study, we have used new approach for detection of the methyl parathion residues i.e., by inhibiting half of the peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles. We have investigated the peroxidase like activity of gold nanoparticles by colorimetric assay and optimized the pH, temperature, incubation time and different concentrations of H2O2 by using TMB as substrate as well as organophosphates effect on their enzyme mimetic activity. Kinetic study of gold nanoparticles has shown better catalytic activity than horseradish peroxidase at pH 3.5. The peroxidase substrate TMB (3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine) can be oxidized by H2O2 by the enzymatic action of the gold nanoparticles resulting in a blue-coloured product, oxidized TMB. The principle involved behind the inhibition of enzymatic activity of nanozyme is due to hindrance of electron transfer mechanism TMB-H2O2-Au NPs system by the methyl parathion. The peroxidase activity is selectively reduced with increasing methyl parathion concentration. This sensing method has lowest limit of detection of 78.95 nM. This study can be used for development of sensitive and cost effective technique for sensing of harmful pesticides.
