A team from the Faculty of Chemistry of MSU and colleagues have suggested a new method for determining levels of cysteine, an amino acid used in many drugs, with the help of gold nanoparticles. Unlike current methods, it does not require complex reactions or expensive equipment. An article with the results of the study was published in Sensors and Actuators B.
