| Abstract | Among proteases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been of significant interest because they are considered as one of the promising biomarkers in association with cancer metastasis, inflammation and other degenerative diseases. Many attempts based on the optical sensing have been made to analyze the activity of MMPs, but most of them require an expensive fluorescence readout and a labor-intensive process. To circumvent this issue, we demonstrated a simple colorimetric detection of protease activity by using carboxy gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and histidine-containing peptides via metal-affinity coordination. Due to their higher surface-to-volume ratio, the nanometer size of AuNPs enables the surface ligands to function like a chelator, providing greater affinity with metal ions, even in the absence of chelators. With no additional modification by multidentate ligands, the carboxy AuNPs were easily aggregated and changed in color (from reddish-brown to violet) after adding peptide substrates with hexahistidine at both ends and metal ions, whereas the presence of proteases in solution prevented NP aggregation by cleaving the peptides, thereby retaining the original color of the AuNPs. When the extinction ratio (E(520)/E(700)) of the AuNP solution was measured as a function of matrix metalloproteinase concentration in a single reaction, there was good linearity from as low as 3 nM to 52 nM. This approach is anticipated to be useful in designing other diagnostic nanosensors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
