To increase the local field intensity of Raman scattering, gold nanospheres were entrapped in gold coated periodic inverse pyramid structures, being SERS substrates by themselves. The applicability of this complex structure for sensitive molecule detection was proved by comparison of the detected Raman signals with and without particle entrapment. Moreover its relevance in molecular diagnostic was also proposed considering the specific surface functionalisation of the gold nanoparticles.

The World

Water sources pollution by arsenic ions is a serious environmental problem all around the world. Arsenate reductase enzyme ( TtArsC ) from Thermus thermophilus extremophile bacterium, naturally binds arsenic ions, As(V) and As (III), in aqueous solutions. In this research, TtArsC enzyme adsorption onto hybrid polyethylene glycol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was studied at different pH values as an innovative nanobiosystem for metal concentration monitoring. Characterizations were performed by UV/Vis and circular dichroism spectroscopies, TEM images and in terms of surface charge changes. The molecular interaction between arsenic ions and the TtArsC -AuNPs nanobiosystem was also monitored at all pH values considered by UV/Vis spectroscopy. Tests performed revealed high sensitivities and limits of detection equal to 10 ± 3 M −12 and 7.7 ± 0.3 M −12 for As(III) and As(V), respectively.

AbstractNanoparticles with coating entrapping a chemotherapeutic drug for delivery have not been tested for their cytotoxic effects in in-vitro glioblastoma cell cultures to increase treatment efficacy. Therefore, we synthesized silica-coated gold nanorods and gold nanospheres that were loaded with doxorubicin or temozolomide. The morphology of the nanoparticles was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the molecular structure was characterized using infrared spectroscopy and in vitro efficacy was determined using glioblastoma cell cultures. TEM analysis showed that gold nanorods had a length of 49–65 nm and a diameter of 8.5–14 nm whereas gold nanospheres had a diameter of 9.5–37 nm. Infrared spectroscopy of doxorubicin and temozolomide and the silica coating revealed molecular fingerprints such as bending, stretching and vibrations of chemical bonds that confirmed the presence of silica coating and drug loading of the gold nanoparticles. In the biological assessment of the effects of drug-loaded gold nanoparticles on primary glioblastoma cell cultures, cytotoxicity, viability and the ratio of cyototoxicity and viability were used as parameters to analyze the effects on the cells of drug delivery via gold nanoparticles on the cells. Our data suggest that doxorubicin in the concentration range of 0.12–3.16 μM when delivered using both gold nanorods and nanospheres induced a 3.8–5.5-fold increased cytotoxicity in comparison to direct delivery. Temozolomide in the concentration range of 4.6–115 μM when delivered by either type of gold nanoparticles induced a 2–4-fold increased cytotoxicity in comparison to direct delivery. Nanospheres were more effective in delivery and cytotoxicity of doxorubicin and temozolomide to glioblastoma cells than gold nanorods. Our data suggest that gold nanoparticles and in particular gold nanospheres are more effective in delivery of doxorubicin and temozolomide to primary glioblastoma cells in culture than direct delivery.

Systematic Synthesis

For decades, chemists have strived to mimic the intricate design and diverse functions of naturally occurring systems through the bioinspired synthesis of programmable inorganic nanomaterials. The development of thiol-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) has driven advancement in this area; however, although versatile and readily accessible, hybrid AuNPs are rarely atomically precise, which limits control over their surface topology and therefore the study of complex structure-function relationships. Here, we present a bottom-up approach to the systematic assembly of atomically precise hybrid nanoclusters employing a strategy that mimics the synthetic ease with which thiol-capped AuNPs are normally constructed, while producing welldefined covalent nanoscale assemblies with diverse surface topologies. For the first time, using a structurally characterized cluster-based organometallic building block, we demonstrate the systematic synthesis of nanoclusters with multivalent binding capabilities to complex protein targets.

Background Contrast

The photoacoustic (PA) signal amplitude measured in gold nanosphere suspensions has been shown to increase nonlinearly with the incident excitation fluence. In this work, this effect is exploited to recover the spatial distribution of gold nanoparticles in tomographic 3D photoacoustic (PA) images against the background contrast provided by absorbers that exhibit a linear relationship between the PA signal amplitude and the fluence. Serial tomographic PA images of a tissue phantom containing gold nanospheres and a tissue-mimicking absorber were acquired. By assessing the linearity of the PA intensity voxel by voxel, the spatial distribution of the gold nanosphere suspension was recovered. The method is shown to enable the robust detection of gold nanoparticles.
