Peptide-templated gold nanoclusters as a novel label-free biosensor for the detection of protease activity

Abstract

A novel label-free fluorescent biosensor platform has been developed for protease activity assay using peptide-templated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). The biosensor was demonstrated with elastase as the model to have high sensitivity, excellent specificity, simplicity and rapidity.
