Abstract
A fast and sensitive colorimetric assay for the determination of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) levels using biphosphonates-PEG-coated gold nanoparticles (BP-PEG-AuNPs) has been developed. Addition of different amounts of PAP to the AuNPs results in a significant change of color, from a red-wine color to purple, and finally to blue. The PAP should bind onto the AuNPs surface and crosslink the AuNPs inducing their aggregation and as a consequence a color change of the solution from wine red to purple/blue. The color change was monitored by UV–vis spectrophotometry or with the naked eye. The ensuing concentration-dependent red-shift of surface plasmon resonance absorption allows the determination concentration within the fg range in 10 min. Importantly, the visual detection limit (1 ng/mL) allows the rapid differential diagnosis with naked eye or image analyzer. This demonstrates that the color modification observed with BP-PEG-AuNP is effectively due to an interaction between PAP and BP.
