Description
Summary:Metal nanoparticles and nanoclusters are progressively studied for use in various biomedical applications such as imaging, drug delivery, and therapies. Therefore, considering the interaction of biopolymers with metal nanostructures becomes vital for their efficient application. Luminescent metal nanoclusters are now widely considered as potential sensor applications. In this work we considered the interaction of silver nanoparticles with some proteins and oligonucleotides. We observed that biomolecules in some cases can effectively dissolve nanoparticles and lead to the formation of silver nanoclusters.
