A colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of biothiols, based on the peroxidase-like activity of iodine-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These AuNPs show a synergetic effect in the form of peroxidase-mimicking activity at the interface of AuNPs, while free AuNPs and iodine alone have weak catalytic properties. Thus, iodine-capped AuNPs possess good intrinsic enzymatic activity and trigger the oxidation of 3,3’,5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), leading to a change in color from colorless to yellow. When added to solution, biothiols, such as cysteine, strongly bind to the interface of AuNPs via gold-thiol bonds, inhibiting the catalytic activity of AuNPs, resulting in a decrease in oxidized TMB. Using this strategy, cysteine could be linearly determined, at a wide range of concentrations (0.5 to 20 μM), with a detection limit of 0.5 μM using UV-Vis spectroscopy. This method was applied for the detection of cysteine in diluted human urine.

A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH3Hg+) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH3Hg+, which was used to capture and separate CH3Hg+ by centrifugation. It was found that the CH3Hg+ reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH3Hg+ with a linear range of 10–200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH3Hg+ detection in environmental samples.

In this study, we successfully developed a simple and rapid method for simultaneous detection of Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli using gold nanoparticles and the aptamer aptasensor. We screened 25 specific DNA aptamer candidates against these pathogens using whole-cell Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment. Among them, Ap6 was selected due to its low energy minimization values of −12.25 and −27.67 kcal/mol derived from MFold and RNAFold analysis, respectively. The assay presented in this study allowed the visual colorimetric detection of labeled colloidal gold nanoparticles as well as determination of UV absorbance at 625 and 525 nm under optimized conditions. The detection limit of this aptasensor was as less as 105 CFU/ml. A random investigation of 50 meat samples, including ham and chicken sausages, collected from the local market revealed 96% accuracy, 96% specificity, and 100% sensitivity of the assay. The colorimetric aptasensor can accomplish one-step detection without pre-culture, DNA extraction, and amplification. Hence, it is an easy, rapid, specific, and qualitative assay that can be used as a point-of-care testing to directly detect multiplex foodborne pathogens.
