Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>An individual nanoplasmonic aptasensor is effectively exploited to detect lysozyme utilizing its adsorption on a DNA aptamer bound to a Au nanoparticle and its interaction with an antibody bound to another Au nanoparticle. S. J. Sim and co‐workers report <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on page 3485</ext-link> that the optical plasmonic resonance coupling of the larger Au nanoparticle with the smaller immunogold colloids causes a strong resonance peak shift and the light scattering color changes (green to red) of corresponding nanoparticles under the incident light (white) of the dark‐field microscope. An increase of up to 380% in the LSPR λ_max shift is demonstrated compared to the non‐coupling shift. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t8dd9b4" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
