Abstract
Chiral recognition is among the important and special modes of molecular recognition. It is highly desirable to develop a simple, rapid, sensitive, and high-throughput routine assay for chiral recognition. In this study, we demonstrate that nucleotide-capped Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) can be used as an ultrahigh efficiency enantioseparation and detection platform for d- and l-cysteine. The aggregation of AgNPs is selectively induced by an enantiomer of cysteine, which allowed the rapid colorimetric enantiodiscrimination of cysteine without any prior derivatization and specific instruments and left an excess of the other enantiomer in the solution, thus resulting in enantioseparation. This is the first application of a nucleotide-capped AgNP-based biosensing platform for chiral recognition and opens new opportunities for design of more novel enantiosensing strategies and enantiospecific adsorbents and expansion of its application in different fields.Keywords
