Abstract

Ultrasensitive detection of toxins by nanoparticle-fluorophore interaction has been studied extensively in the past decade. Present study highlights the detection of formaldehyde based on fluorescence turn-on induced by NADH mediated GNP synthesis. The growth solution consisted of CTAB, Au3+ and fluorescein dye. Extensive fluorescence quenching was observed upon interaction of fluorescein with the growth solution. However, addition of NADH led to a dose dependent fluorescence turn-on. This behavior was successfully employed for ultrasensitive detection of formaldehyde (0.01pg - 300pg/mL with R2=0.9439) as a function of NADH using formaldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme. Metal ion interactions with the proposed system were also studied. We propose that the initial fluorescence quenching is due to CTAB-fluorescein-Au3+ interaction. Addition of NADH to the growth solution led to initiation of gold nanoparticle synthesis by the reduction of Au3+ to Au0 that induced more polarity on the CTAB micellar surface causing fluorescein-CTAB transition and turn-on fluorescence further leading to detection of NADH. Also, at increased NADH/formaldehyde concentration, fluorescence decrease was observed which is due to efficient synthesis of gold nanoparticle leading to spectral overlap. The proposed method of Au3+ reduction coupled to fluorescence turn-on can be applied for monitoring NADH dependent dehydrogenase reactions at ultrasensitive levels.
