Abstract
ABSTRACT Current research on coronavirus 2 disease (SARS-CoV-2) has been focused on developing reliable gold nanomaterials and methods for the detection of viral spike protein (S-proteins). Here, we describe the fluorescence quenching of spike proteins in the presence of robust gold-aryl nanoparticles. The obtained results demonstrated a strong binding affinity between S-proteins and tryptophan immobilized on gold-carbon nanoparticles (Trp-AuNPs) based on the binding constant value of 11.098 M−1. Förster non-radiative energy transfer (FRET) calculations showed an average binding distance of r = 3.06 nm and a critical energy transfer distance of R0 = 2.5 nm. Time-resolved fluorescence studies of conjugated S-proteins onto Trp-AuNPs revealed a short fluorescence lifetime and dynamic quenching.
期刊介绍：
Providing a common forum for all soft matter scientists, Soft Materials covers theory, simulation, and experimental research in this rapidly expanding and interdisciplinary field. As soft materials are often at the heart of modern technologies, soft matter science has implications and applications in many areas ranging from biology to engineering.
Unlike many journals which focus primarily on individual classes of materials or particular applications, Soft Materials draw on all physical, chemical, materials science, and biological aspects of soft matter. Featured topics include polymers, biomacromolecules, colloids, membranes, Langmuir-Blodgett films, liquid crystals, granular matter, soft interfaces, complex fluids, surfactants, gels, nanomaterials, self-organization, supramolecular science, molecular recognition, soft glasses, amphiphiles, foams, and active matter.
Truly international in scope, Soft Materials contains original research, invited reviews, in-depth technical tutorials, and book reviews.
