title: Quenching effect of nickel ions on fluorescent gold nanoparticles.
abstract: Herein, we reported the quenching effect of Ni(2+) on bovine serum albumin protected fluorescent gold nanoparticles (BSA-GNPs). The quenching mechanism was discussed and a static quenching mechanism was proposed. The number of binding sites (n), apparent stability constants (K) and corresponding thermodynamic parameters of BSA-GNPs-Ni(2+) complex were measured at different temperatures. Under optimum conditions, the fluorescence intensity of BSA-GNPs is linearly proportional to nickel concentration from 6.0x10(-8)mol/L to 8.0x10(-6)mol/L with a detection limit of 1.0x10(-8)mol/L. The result indicated that BSA-GNP was a potential Ni(2+) probe.
