Application of nanoparticles with different surface modifications for selective molecular sensing based on NMR magnetization transfer or diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY). The interaction strength and specificity between the surface coating ligands and organic molecule analytes can be modulated via rationally-designed nanoparticle surface modifications, reflecting the potential of this method for the selective detection and identification of metabolites in a complex biological mixture.
