RT Journal Article T1 Novel Janus nanoparticles based on anisotropically-modified gold colloids for electrochemical aptasensor toward C-reactive protein A1 Villalonga, Anabel A1 Sánchez Sánchez, Alfredo A1 Vilela García, Diana A1 Mayol Hornero, Beatriz A1 Martínez Ruiz, María Paloma A1 Villalonga Santana, Reynaldo AB Novel Janus nanoparticles based on Au colloids anisotropically modified with polyamidoamine dendrons were prepared though a masking/toposelective modification approach. These nanomaterials were further functionalized with horseradish peroxidase on the dendritic face and provided on the opposite metal surface with a ssDNA aptamer for C-reactive protein (CRP). The resulting nanoparticles were employed as biorecognition/signaling elements to construct an amperometric aptasensor with sandwich-type architecture for the specific detection of this cardiac biomarker. To do this, screen-printed carbon electrodes modified with electrodeposited Au nanoparticles and functionalized with anti-CRP aptamers were used as transduction interface. The aptasensor was employed for the amperometric detection of CRP (working potential: − 200 mV vs pseudo-Ag/AgCl) in the broad range from 10 pg·mL−1 to 1.0 ng·mL−1 with a detection limit of 3.1 pg·mL−1. This electroanalytical device also showed good specificity, reproducibility (RSD = 9.8%, n = 10), and stability and was useful to quantify CRP in reconstituted human serum samples, with a RSD of 13.3%.
