Silver cluster–biomolecule hybrids: from basics towards sensors

Abstract: We focus on the functional role of small silver clusters in model hybrid systems involving peptides in the context of a new generation of nanostructured materials for biosensing. The optical properties of hybrids in the gas phase and at support will be addressed with the aim to bridge fundamental and application aspects. We show that extension and enhancement of absorption of peptides can be achieved by small silver clusters due to the interaction of intense intracluster excitations with the π-π* excitations o… Show more

“…Owing to their ultra-small size, good biocompatibility and intriguing physicochemical properties, noble metal clusters show significant promise in biolabeling/bioimaging, sensing, catalysis, and optoelectronic nanodevices [1-7]. In general, there are two pathways to synthesize these fascinating materials: chemical and biological methods.…”

“…Modification of oligoglycine with 1,10-phenanthroline stabilizes SN and facilitates the formation of sensor-and catalytically-active hybrid systems, while the presence of substituents in the structure of the heterocyclic modifier suppresses the capacity of oligoglycine to form hybrid composites [172]. The interaction of chromophore groups of amino acid fragments of peptides in silver clusters, which affects the optical properties of the hybrid systems [173], has found practical use in the preparation of hybrid biomarkers for the visualization of histidine-containing proteins in biochemical research [174]. Protein macromolecules containing tyrosine (2-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid) fragments may reduce Ag + ions due to the phenolic OH groups according to the following scheme:…”
