    Abstract:
    In this work, we reported a facile and highly sensitive strategy for colorimetric detection of cysteine (Cys) based on the inhibition of catalytic activity of bimetallic nanoclusters induced by Cys. Glutathione-modified gold-platinum nanoclusters (GSH-Au/Pt NCs) with different Au/Pt molar ratios were prepared via one-pot approach and utilized as peroxidase mimics to catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) by H2O2. It has been found that Cys could inhibit the peroxidase-like activity of GSH-Au/Pt NCs efficiently, which leads to a decrease of the absorption intensity of the system at 652 nm with a fading of the blue color. These findings provide a worthy method for visualization and quantitative detection of Cys with different concentrations in the range from 0.5 to 30 μM, and the detection limit is 0.154 μM. Moreover, this method displays a promising application in colorimetric analysis of Cys in urine samples.
