Abstract
Metal nanoparticle (NP)-catalyzed electron transfer (ET) from a reducing agent to a metal complex is useful for signal amplification in biosensors. For efficient ET, the metal complex must undergo rapid outer-sphere reactions, be highly water-soluble, and effectively penetrate bio/organic layers on metal NPs. Our study identifies Ru(NH3)63+ as well-suited for this purpose. Among reducing agents, ammonia-borane (AB) enables rapid metal NP-catalyzed ET, with Au, Pt, and Pd NPs displaying similar catalytic activities. The pseudo second-order rate constant for 20-nm Au NP-catalyzed ET from AB to Ru(NH3)63+ (1.4 × 108 M−1 s−1) approaches the diffusion-controlled rate constant. Despite immunoglobulin G and bovine serum albumin passively adsorbed on Au NPs, catalytic activity remains largely unaffected. Applying Au NP-catalyzed ET to prostate-specific antigen detection in human serum achieves a low detection limit of 10 pg/mL. These findings highlight the potential of Ru(NH3)63+ and AB in designing biosensors based on rapid catalytic reaction.
金属纳米粒子(NP)催化的还原剂到金属复合物的电子转移(ET)可用于生物传感器中的信号放大。要实现高效的电子转移,金属复合物必须经历快速的外层反应,具有高度的水溶性,并能有效穿透金属纳米粒子上的生物/有机层。我们的研究发现,Ru(NH3)63+ 非常适合这一目的。在还原剂中,氨硼烷(AB)能快速催化金属 NP ET,金、铂和钯 NP 具有相似的催化活性。20 纳米 Au NP 催化 ET 从 AB 到 Ru(NH3)63+ 的伪二阶速率常数(1.4 × 108 M-1 s-1)接近扩散控制速率常数。尽管免疫球蛋白 G 和牛血清白蛋白被动吸附在 Au NP 上,但催化活性基本不受影响。将 Au NP 催化的 ET 应用于人血清中前列腺特异性抗原的检测,检测限低至 10 pg/mL。这些发现凸显了 Ru(NH3)63+ 和 AB 在设计基于快速催化反应的生物传感器方面的潜力。
