Abstract:
:Gold nanorods (GNRs) are important platforms for biosensing and drug delivery. As for most nanomaterials, appropriate coatings such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) are needed to stabilize GNRs within biological fluids. We show here that the interactions of GNRs with proteins can be finely modulated through surface modification using PEG-containing chains bearing charged headgroups. Interestingly, introduction of amino or carboxylate groups produces relevant and differential changes in GNR interactions with three representative proteins: lysozyme, cytochrome c, and bovine serum albumin. These effects were explored through the direct monitoring of plasmonic bands of the GNRs and are supported by independent dynamic light scattering (DLS) and circular dichroism (CD) determinations. Notably, GNR-protein interactions observed for these charged GNRs can be almost completely reversed by salt addition. These observations demonstrate the importance of electrostatic effects in governing GNR-protein interactions, and provide a basis for new sensing and delivery platforms.
