title: A sensitive enzyme-catalytic nanogold-resonance scattering spectral assay for alkaline phosphate.
abstract: In pH 8.9 Tris-HCl buffer solutions, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) catalyzed the hydrolysis of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AAP) substrate to form ascorbic acid. Then H(3)PO(4) was added to stop the enzymatic reaction and HAuCl(4) was used to react with ascorbic acid to generate gold nanoparticles that exhibited a resonance scattering (RS) peak at 600 nm. Under the selected conditions, when the activity of ALP increased, the formed ascorbic acid and gold nanoparticles also increased. Thus, the RS intensity at 600 nm enhanced linearly. The linear range was 0.06-22 U/L, with a detection limit of 0.03 U/L. The ALP in serum was analyzed, and the results were in agreement with those of the fluorescence method.
