Sensitive and selective detection of mercury ions based on papain and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid functionalized gold nanoparticles
Keyword(s):
Here we demonstrate the rational design of a sensitive and selective colorimetric method for mercury ion (Hg2+) detection by using papain and 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA) functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs).
