a) Absorption spectra and b) absorbance versus time representations (λmax), obtained during the enzymatic reaction of tyramine (10⁻⁴M) in phosphate buffer pH = 7: green line indicates the following: AuNP ([Au(III)] = 1 mM, [TAO] = 0.5 U/mL, 40 °C, 0.1M buffer). Blue line indicates the following: AuPdNP ([Au(III)] = 0.5 mM, [Pd(II)] = 1.5 mM, [TAO] = 0.25 U/mL, 40 °C, 0.3M buffer). Red line indicates the following: AuPtNP ([Au(III)] = 0.5 mM, [Pt(II)] = 1.0 mM, [TAO] = 0.125 U/mL, 25°C, 0.1M buffer)
Schematic representation of the a) direct and b) inverse method, and the final molecular absorption spectra obtained in each case. Experimental conditions for the direct method as indicated in Fig. 1; for the inverse method ([Au(III)] = 0.5 mM, [Pt(II)] = 0.5mM, [TAO] = 0.50 U/mL, 40 °C, 0.1M phosphate buffer pH = 7)
Inverse method: variation of the absorbance at λ = 540 nm with the reaction time for different concentrations of tyramine. [Au (III)] = 0.5 mM; [Pt (II)] = 0.5 mM; [TAO] = 0.5 U/mL; phosphate buffer 0.1 M pH 7; 40 °C
Direct method: Abs = f(t) representations at λ = 580 nm for different concentrations of tyramine (M). [TAO] = 0.125 U/mL; [Au (III)] = 0.5 mM; [Pt (II)] = 1 mM; phosphate buffer 0.1 M pH 7; 25 °C. a blank; b 2.5 × 10⁻⁶M; c 5.0 × 10⁻⁶M; d 7.5 × 10⁻⁶M; e 1.0 × 10⁻⁵M; f 1.5 × 10⁻⁵M; g 2.5 × 10⁻⁵M; h 5.0 × 10⁻⁵M; i 1.0 × 10⁻⁴M; j 2.5 × 10⁻⁴M

In situ enzymatic generation of bimetallic nanoparticles, mainly Au/Pt, overcomes the drawbacks (continuous absorbance drift, modest LOQ, and long-time reaction) observed when AuNP alone are produced. In this study, Au/Pt nanoparticles have been characterized by EDS, XPS, and HRTEM images using the enzymatic determination of tyramine with tyramine oxidase (TAO) as a model. Under experimental conditions, the Au/Pt NPs show an absorption maximum at 580 nm which can be related to the concentration of tyramine in the range 1.0 × 10⁻⁶M to 2.5 × 10⁻⁴M with a RSD of 3.4% (n = 5, using 5 × 10⁻⁶M tyramine). The Au/Pt system enables low LOQ (1.0 × 10⁻⁶ M), high reduction of the absorbance drift, and a significant shortening of the reaction time (i.e., from 30 to 2 min for a [tyramine] = 1 × 10⁻⁴M); additionally, a better selectivity is also obtained. The method has been applied to tyramine determination in cured cheese and no significant differences were obtained compared to a reference method (HRP:TMB). The effect of Pt(II) seems to involve the previous reduction of Au(III) to Au(I) and NP generation from this oxidation state. Finally, a three-step (nucleation-growth-aggregation) kinetic model for the generation of NPs is proposed; this has enabled us to obtain a mathematical equation which explains the experimentally observed variation of the absorbance with time.

... It is based on the in situ generation of metallic nanomaterials during NADPH-dependent enzymatic reactions. Previous work of the research group has shown that oxidase-type enzymes are able to reduce the metallic ion to stable nanomaterials whose optical properties (absorption, fluorescence] can be related to the concentration of the corresponding analyte [24,25]. ...
