Abstract
New, stable, and glyoco-derivatized gold nanorods (GNRs) were prepared using developed amphiphilic block glycopolymers poly[(lactose)m-b-(pyridine)n] to engineer self-organized, densely packed g lycopolymeric recognition layers and generate a multivalent binding cav ity onto the gold surface. We report a rapid and u ltrasensitive biosensing for the weak affinity of protein-carbohydrate binding employing a combination of the longitudinal SPR of GNRs and the cluster glycoside effect. Thus, a very small amount of lectin (100 pgmL-1 = 8.3 × 10-13 M) was detected by the aggregation of GNRs.
