Determination of Lysozyme by Thiol-Terminated Aptamer-Based Surface Plasmon Resonance

摘要

A sensitive and selective surface plasmon resonance (SPR) aptasensor has been developed for the real-time determination of lysozyme. The thiol-terminated lysozyme aptamer was covalently attached to the surface of sensor through Au-S bonding. In the presence of lysozyme, the aptamer captured lysozyme on the surface and enhanced the SPR signal that was proportional to the concentration of lysozyme. Under the optimized conditions, the SPR signal was linear with lysozyme concentration from 1 to 100 mu mol/L. The detection limit for lysozyme was 0.5 mu mol/L. The aptasensor also provided high specificity for lysozyme and was unaffected by other proteins. This aptasensor provides rapid, simple, and sensitive determination of lysozyme detection and a promising strategy for other proteins.
