摘要
The fabrication of Fe3O4@Au composites as a novel resonance light scattering (RLS) probe for the sensitive detection of Alzheimer's amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) was demonstrated. Amino groups coated magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were covered with gold shell by the classical Frens method. The resultant colloids were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV-visible spectra. The results indicated that the composite particles with core/shell structure and an average diameter of similar to 320 nm were stable and biocompatible. The RLS intensity of Fe3O4@Au composites was significantly enhanced by interacting with A beta. Under optimal conditions, good linear relationship between the ratio of RLS intensity I/I-0 at 463.0 nm and the logarithmic value of A beta concentration in the range of 5.0 x 10(-15)-5.56 x 10(-9) M was found. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1.2 x 10(-15) M. The proposed method is simple, sensitive and cost-effective and complementary to other existing methods for protein analysis.
