A unique design strategy was developed for the detection of dopamine using a newly synthesized amphiphile containing boronic acid head group at the aqueous-liquid crystal (LC) interface. The optical signal of LC for the detection of dopamine was highly amplified in the presence of functionalized gold nanoparticles.
