A rapid colorimetric dual sensor for the detection of mercury and lead ions in water using cysteine capped silver nanoparticles

Thiol groups containing amino acids like cystine and l-cysteine help in the chelation of poisonous heavy metals in biological systems therein making them eliminated easily in urine. Based on this phenomenon, cysteine-coated silver nanoparticles could be helpful as potential label-free sensors system...
