Study of Efficiency of Coupling Peptides with Gold Nanoparticles / 分析化学

ABSTRACT

Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to investigate the efficiency of coupling peptides to gold nanoparticles via 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride-N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC-NHS).The experiment conditions including buffer solution, pH value and concentrations of buffer solution, concentrations of NHS and EDC, concentration ratios of NHS to EDC, and coupling reaction time on the coupling efficiency were investigated and optimized.The experimental results indicated that the optimized experimental conditions were as follows 25 mmol/L HEPES buffer solution, pH 7.0;2∶1 of concentration ratio of NHS to EDC, 0.4 mol/L NHS, 0.2 mol/L EDC, and coupling reaction time of 24 h.This study may provide references for the relative research involving coupling peptide or protein with gold nanoparticles
