In this reported work, the electrochemical behaviour of gold electrodes modified with gold nanoparticles, acetone-extracted propolis, multiwall carbon nanotubes and cholesterol oxidase was established for the detection of hydrogen peroxide by using cyclic voltammetry and amperometric techniques. The obtained results confirmed that the current enzymatic biosensor exhibits a fast, highly sensitive, and cost-effective detection of cholesterol. Cholesterol in the concentration range of 0.15-0.55 mmol l(-1) was determined with a detection limit of 4.9 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) by the amperometric method, and the sensitivity of the proposed method was found to be 17.38 mu A/mmol l(-1). Normal electroactive species such as ascorbic acid and glucose in the presence of the constant concentration of cholesterol in the samples do not interfere with the determination.

Novel squaraine signalling Zn(II) ions: three-state fluorescence response to a single input
Dilek, G; Akkaya, EU (2000-05-06)
A novel metal ion sensitive 2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indole-derived squaraine dye showing different fluorescence responses depending on the complexation stoichiometry has been synthesized. Thus, three levels of signals are attainable by varying the Zn(II) ion concentration.
Ag nanostructures on a poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film prepared with electrochemical route: A controllable roughened SERS substrate with high repeatability and stability
Dogan, Uzeyir; KAYA, MURAT; CİHANER, ATİLLA; Volkan, Mürvet (2012-12-15)
A simple, reliable and reproducible one-step electrochemical method for the preparation of surface-enhanced Raman-active polymer-mediated silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on planar indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates was reported. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) film was used as a support material for dispersing nanostructured silver nanostructures on the surface homogeneously, since 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) monomer polymerizes regioregularly. The optical properties and morphologie...
Silver nanoparticles as a cyanide colorimetric sensor in aqueous media
Hajizadeh, Salahaddin; Farhadi, Khalil; Forough, Mehrdad; Sabzi, Reza Emamali (2011-11-01)
The interaction between aqueous colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and cyanide ions was studied using UV-Vis absorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. It was found that AgNPs were oxidized by dissolved oxygen in the presence of cyanide ions, resulting in a considerable decrease in the intensity of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption band of AgNPs. So, we propose a simple, cost effective, rapid, sensitive and selective colorimetric sensor for the detection of cyanide using ...
A Comparative Density Functional Study of Hydrogen Peroxide Adsorption and Activation on the Graphene Surface Doped with N, B, S, Pd, Pt, Au, Ag, and Cu Atoms
Duzenli, Derya (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2016-09-15)
The adsorption of the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) molecule, which is known as the common form of reactive oxygen species in living cells, was investigated theoretically over pure graphene and heteroatom- (nitrogen-, boron-, and sulfur-) and metal-atom- (silver-, gold-, copper-, palladium-, and platinum-) doped graphene surfaces using the density functional theory (DFT) method. This study involved the optimization of pure and doped graphene surfaces, adsorption of the gas molecule on top of the doped atoms and ...

Unsoy, Gözde; Yalçın Azarkan, Serap; Khodadust, R; Parsiyan, M; Mutlu, P; Bayanbold, H; Gündüz, Ufuk (2014-04-01)
In this study, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The synthesized nanoparticles were modified with aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane for dendrimer coating. Aminosilane-modified MNPs were coated with PAMAM dendrimer. Gene silencing effect of Survivin siRNA loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were studied on Doxorubicin resistant MCF-7 cell lines. Consequently, Survivin siRNA were triggered cell death when delivered by G4 PAMAM dendrimer coated magnetic nanoparticles. Su...
