A novel biosensor for the rapid detection of lead ions employing the optical properties of AuNPs, a lead-specific aptamer and a cationic peptide has been demonstrated with ultra-sensitive detection limit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
