Is either direct photolysis or photocatalysed H-shift of peroxyl radicals a competitive pathway in the troposphere?

abstract：:Gold nanoparticles provide a user-friendly and efficient surface for immobilization of enzymes and proteins. In this paper, we present a novel approach for enzyme bioconjugation to gold nanostars (AuNSs). AuNSs were modified with l-cysteine (Cys) and covalently bound to N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS) activated ...
