Enzyme-free colorimetric assay of serum uric acid

Abstract

A nonenzymatic method for the selective detection and quantification of serum uric acid (UA) using 2-thiouracil (2-TU) tailored Au nanoparticles is developed. The H-bonding interaction of UA with functionalized Au nanoparticles brings instantaneous visible color change and paves the way for the visible sensing of UA.
