The interaction with lectin of poly(ethylene glycol)ylated gold nanoparticles possessing lactose in regulated density was investigated by surface plamon resonance to develop a highly sensitive bioassay system. It was observed that the PEGylated gold particles with higher lactose density increases the binding amount due to the multivalent interaction. A galactose was quantified on the range of 5 ∼ 50μg/mL using the SPR sensor chip with adsorbed gold nanoparticles. It was concluded that the method of amplified SPR sensing by gold nanoparticles can be applied for the qunatification of various low molecular weight compounds.
