| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have demonstrated, for the first time, the use of surface-enhanced photochromic phenomena for sensitive label-free α-amino acid (α-AA) sensing using the WO3 colloid nanoparticles as a colorimetric probe. A good linear correlation between the initial coloration rate and the surface concentration of α-AA on the WO3 can be obtained over 3 orders of magnitude, and a low detection limit for α-AA of ca. 9.0×10-12 mol dm-2 (1.0×10-6 M at pH 2) can be achieved.
