Using thermally regenerable cerium oxide nanoparticles in biocomputing to perform label-free, resettable, and colorimetric logic operations

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2012 Dec 7;51(50):12579-83. doi: 10.1002/anie.201207587. Epub 2012 Nov 7.

Abstract

A label-free, resettable, and colorimetric logic network has been realized by utilizing thermally regenerable cerium oxide nanoparticles and biocatalytic reactions. Coupling switchable CeO(2) nanoparticles with biocomputing would convert molecular recognition events into colorimetric outputs and make logic gates feasible to reset.
