Abstract

We report the use of plasmonic responses of single gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with various sizes for the analysis of biomolecular recognition. We also describe the relationship between particle size and plasmonic response induced by the binding of receptors and target analytes. To investigate the plasmonic response of AuNPs, Rayleigh light scattering spectra were collected from individual AuNPs using a dark-field microspectroscopy system. Using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a model, the linear dynamic range was obtained in the concentration range of 10^-4 to 10 ng/ml, with the smallest detectable concentration at 0.1 pg/ml corresponding to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) λ_max shifts of approximately 2.95 nm. This result indicates that individual AuNPs can be used for development of a very sensitive, robust, simple, and label-free biosensor to detect protein biomarkers. Furthermore, the method possesses great potential for monitoring other biological interactions.
