The formation and growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were investigated in pH 7 buffer solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature. The processes were monitored by UV-Vis, circular dichroism, Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. TEM microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were used to evidence changes in particle size during nanoparticle formation and growth. The formation of AuNPs at pH 7 in the absence of BSA was not observed, which proves that the albumin is involved in the first step of Au(III) reduction. Changes in the EPR spectral features of two spin probes, CAT16 and DIS3, with affinity for BSA and AuNPs, respectively, allowed us to monitor the particle growth and to demonstrate the protective role of BSA for AuNPs. The size of AuNPs formed in BSA solution increases slowly with time, resulting in nanoparticles of different morphologies, as revealed by TEM. Raman spectra of BSA indicate the interaction of albumin with AuNPs through sulfur-containing amino acid residues. This study shows that albumins act as both reducing agents and protective corona of AuNPs.

The increasing interest of attachment of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) has been devoted to obtaining tremendous properties suitable for biosensor applications. Achieving precise control of the attachment and shape of AuNPs by methods described in the literature are far from satisfactory. This work shows the comparison of physical adsorption (PA), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA) methods and the parameters of these methods on TNTs properties. The structural, chemical, phase and electrochemical characterizations of TNTs, Au/TNTs, AuNPs/TNTs are carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The use of PA methods does not allow the deposition of AuNPs on TNTs. CV allows easily obtaining spherical nanoparticles, for which the diameter increases from 20.3 ± 2.9 nm to 182.3 ± 51.7 nm as a concentration of tetrachloroauric acid solution increase from 0.1 mM to 10 mM. Increasing the AuNPs deposition time in the CA method increases the amount of gold, but the AuNPs diameter does not change (35.0 ± 5 nm). Importantly, the CA method also causes the dissolution of the nanotubes layer from 1000 ± 10.0 nm to 823 ± 15.3 nm. Modification of titanium dioxide nanotubes with gold nanoparticles improved the electron transfer and increased the corrosion resistance, as well as promoted the protein adsorption. Importantly, after the deposition of bovine serum albumin, an almost 5.5-fold (324%) increase in real impedance, compared to TNTs (59%) was observed. We found that the Au nanoparticles—especially those with smaller diameter—promoted the stability of bovine serum albumin binding to the TNTs platform. It confirms that the modification of TNTs with gold nanoparticles allows the development of the best platform for biosensing applications.
