Resonance scattering amplification assay of biomolecules based on the biomineralization of gold nanoparticles bioconjugates   Original Research Article Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, In Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available online 28 July 2011 Zhao Liu, Lin Luo, Yanhua Dong, Guojun Weng, Jianjun Li Graphical abstract The AuNPs-BSA bioconjugates regrow in the NH2OH·HCl-HAuCl4 system. Different volume of AuNPs bioconjugates were added to the redox system with a fixed ratio of HAuCl4 and NH4OH·HCl. The system was applied to enlarge the size of AuNPs. Then the RLS intensity was measured as a function of the bioconjugates concentration. Au3+ was reduced to Au and selectively amplified the RLS signal of the AuNPs-BSA bioconjugates. Whereas the size of uncapped AuNPs was not enlarged, of which the RLS signal remains comparatively negligible low level (1/422 to the peak of AuNPs-BSA). Thus the interference produced by uncapped AuNPs was comparatively diminished. As shown in Fig. 8, the RLS peak intensity increased gradually with the increasing volume of bioconjugates. Resonance scattering spectrum of the secondary growth product has peaks at 542nm, 584nm and 648nm. As reported before, the peak intensity at 584nm reflects the system. Thus the peak at 584nm was used as the determination signal. As showed in the embedded figure, the RLS peak intensity at 584nm increase linearly with the increase of bioconjugates ranged from 40nmol L-1 to 240nmol L-1. Highlights ► We establish a novel method for the quantitative analysis of trace protein. ► AuNPs were used as detection label. ► Resonance scattering spectra (RLS) peaks serve as determination signal. ► The principle of biomineralation was used to selectively intensify the RLS signal.     8.
