Development of Fluorescent FRET Probes for “Off-On” Detection of L-Cysteine Based on Gold Nanoparticles and Porous Silicon Nanoparticles in Ethanol Solution

A new type of fluorescence “off-on” probe was designed for L-Cysteine (L-Cys) based on the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between negatively charged amino-capped porous silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) and positively charged citrate-stabilized Au nanoparticles (AuNPs). In this proposed F...
