  • Publication number: 20230341420
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel gold nanoclusters, a dopamine biosensor including the same that may exhibit reliability in a wide detection range, and a method of quantifying dopamine using the same, and provides a method of diagnosing a neurological disease that exhibits high selectivity for dopamine using the gold nanoclusters. In addition, the present invention provides a method of concentrating glycoproteins that may exhibit improved concentration efficiency and minimize non-specific binding using the gold nanoclusters. A method of analyzing disease-specific glycoproteins which includes the method of concentrating glycoproteins using the gold nanoclusters may be easily used for diagnosis of a disease by identifying different glycoproteins in a patient group compared to a normal group.
