View AllThis image depicts a nanoparticle-based sensing strategy for determining protein levels in blood. In this approach, green fluorescent protein (GFP) binds to the surface of gold nanoparticles, quenching fluorescence. Displacement of the GFP by analyte proteins turns on fluorescence, providing the signal that is used for blood profiling.
