Colloids

Colloids are heterogeneous systems consisting of small, insoluble particles dispersed evenly throughout another substance.
These particles range in size from 1 to 1000 nanometers and do not settle out of the dispersing medium.
Colloids play a crucial role in various fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science.
They exhibit unique physical and chemical properties, such as high surface area, enhanced reactivity, and the ability to remain suspended in a dispersing medium.
Colloidal systems are found in many natural and engineered materials, such as paints, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products.
Understanding the behavior and properties of colloids is essential for optimizing their performance and applications.

All lipids were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids. For binding of NeutrAvidin, 5% 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-(cap biotinyl) was introduced. Vesicles were prepared by drying the lipids onto the interior of a flask for 30 min, followed by hydration in buffer and extrusion 11 times through 30 nm pores (1 bar). The I-BAR domain of IRSp53 was produced as described previously (Saarikangas et al., 2009 (link)). Standard chemicals for buffer preparation were from Sigma. NeutrAvidin was from ThermoFisher.
Nanowells were prepared as described previously (Junesch et al., 2012 (link), 2015 (link); Malekian et al., 2017 (link); Ferhan et al., 2018 (link)) using 107 nm polystyrene colloids on Nb2O5 and 158 nm on SiO2 (Microparticles). Nanowells in SiO2 were prepared on fused silica to enable direct etching of the solid support (Malekian et al., 2017 (link)). Nanowells in Nb2O5 were prepared on borosilicate glass (which cannot be easily etched) onto which Nb2O5 was first deposited by reactive sputter coating with O2 and Ar (Junesch et al., 2012 (link)) (Nordiko). A 20 nm thick SiO2 layer was deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (Surface Technology Systems). Recipes aiming for stochiometric SiO2 or Si3N4 were used.
For bilayer formation with negative lipids, a 20 mM citric acid buffer was used with 150 mM KCl at a pH of 4.8. IRSp53 binding was performed in a buffer with 20 mM tris(hydroxymethyl) aminomethane and 150 mM NaCl with pH adjusted to 7.4 unless stated otherwise. The pH values were adjusted with concentrated HCl and NaOH.
The setup for extinction spectroscopy with high resolution and tracking of multiple resonance features has been described previously (Junesch et al., 2015 (link); Ferhan et al., 2018 (link)).

The Au NPs
were prepared by using a previous research method that was modified
slightly.24 (link) Briefly, in a conical flask,
50 mL of HAuCl4·4H2O solution was heated
to 130 °C by magnetic stirring for 20 min. Following that, 0.2
M sodium citrate solution (2 mL) was mixed to the above solution while
it was continuously boiling and stirring. After 20 min, the solution’s
color changed from yellow to wine red, confirming the formation of
Au NPs. To remove excess sodium citrate, the prepared Au NPs were
centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 min before use. Each centrifuge tube
was filled with 1.5 mL of Au colloid, and 1.4 mL of supernatant was
removed after centrifugation. The remaining part of each extractor
tube was transferred into a centrifuge tube for the flowing experiment.
The formulation of the SERS swab is based on some modifications
from previous literature.23 (link) First, the
cotton swab was washed with deionized water and then immersed in a
NaCl solution for 20 min; it was later removed from the NaCl solution
and desiccated in an oven at 60 °C for 3 min to activate the
SERS cotton fiber. After that, a swab was treated with pure Au colloid
solution to prepare the CS-Au NP substrate.
