We report on the use of lipoic acid-appended polyethylene glycol (LA-PEG)-stabilized AuNPs, covalently coupled to dye-labelled peptides, as sensitive optically-addressable sensors for determining the catalytic efficiency of the human matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14), a cancer biomarker. We exploit real-time dye PL recovery triggered by MMP-14 hydrolysis of the AuNP-tethered peptide-dye to extract quantitative analysis of the proteolysis kinetics. Sub-nanomolar limit of detections for MMP-14 has been achieved using our hybrid bioconjugates.
