“…Nanosized gold particles posses water-solubility, high chemical stability and allows fine-tuning of the surface biocompatibility (Wang et al 2008), (Kharisov et al 2014). Thus, CF-NPs and their functionalized derivates have been exploited for their surface modification with a variety of functional (bio)molecules (i.e., cellulose derivates, proteins and β-CDs), presenting interesting potential in drug delivery, catalysis, magnetic response image, bioanalysis and emphasizing its chiral recognition capability towards the discrimination of amino acids enantiomers (Guo et al 2017), (Ghosh et al 2013), (Liu et al 2015). However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been only one recent work on their application for electrochemical chiral recognition (Shi et al 2017).…”
