Abstract
We demonstrate that gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) can function as all-optical nanoscale biomolecular detectors that monitor in situ resonant biomolecules, such as Cytochrome c. By tethering resonant biomolecules to Au nanoprobes, the binding events of Cytochrome c onto 50-nm Au nanoprobes yield characteristic spectral dips in scattering spectra of Au nanoprobes due to plasmon resonance energy transfer (PRET). The quenching dip depth of the single nanoprobe spectrum is found to be a function of incubation time (t) and concentration of Cytochrome c, which provides a real-time and nanoscale measurement and quantification of Cytochrome c.
