基于金纳米粒子的动态光散射法检测溶液中的汞离子

摘要

A gold nanoparticle ( GNP)-based dynamic light scattering ( DLS) assay has been developed for detecting mercury ion ( Hg2+) in aqueous solution. The GNPs are able to maintain monodisperse state in relative high ionic strength ( 0. 1 mol/L NaCl ) aqueous solution because Hg2+ aptamer 5’-TTTCTTCTTTCTTCCCCCCTTGTTTGTTGTTT-3’( Probe DNA ) can adsorb on the GNP surface by electrostatic interaction. In the presence of Hg2+, the Probe DNA molecules easily desorb from GNP surface because of T-Hg2+-T formation. The unprotected GNPs form aggregates in 100 mmol/L NaCl solution, resulting in increased significantly the average hydrodynamic diameter of GNPs. Under the conditions of pH 7. 43, 110 nmol/L aptamer, 100 mmol/L NaCl and 30 minutes incubation time of Hg2+with aptamer, the difference of average hydrodynamic diameter (△D ) of GNPs was increased linearly with logarithm of Hg2+concentration over the range from 0. 1 nmol/L to 5 μmol/L, with a detection limit of 0. 1 nmol/L. Moreover, satisfactory results were obtained when the proposed method was applied to detect Hg2+ in real samples.%发展了一种基于汞离子( Hg2+)适配体( Aptamer)免标记金纳米粒子的动态光散射( DLS)法,用于灵敏、选择性的检测溶液中的Hg2+。 Aptamer 5'-TTTCTTCTTTCTTCCCCCCTTGTTTGTTGTTT-3'与Hg2+的特异性结合使金纳米粒子失去保护,在含有100 mmol/L NaCl的缓冲溶液中发生聚集,金纳米粒子的平均水合粒径变大。在pH=7.43,110 nmol/L Aptamer ,100 mmol/L NaCl,Hg2+与Probe DNA孵育时间为30 min的实验条件下,金纳米粒子水合粒径的变化值(DD)与Hg2+的浓度成正比。检出Hg2+的线性范围为0.1 nmol/L~5μmol/L,检出限达0.1 nmol/L。湖水及矿泉水两种水样加标实验表明本方法能够用于实际水样中Hg2+的检测。
