Enhancement of the Peroxidase-Like Activity of Iodine-Capped Gold Nanoparticles for the Colorimetric Detection of Biothiols

A colorimetric assay was developed for the detection of biothiols, based on the peroxidase-like activity of iodine-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). These AuNPs show a synergetic effect in the form of peroxidase-mimicking activity at the interface of AuNPs, while free AuNPs and iodine alone have we...
