A stochastic view on surface inhomogeneity of nanoparticles

Determining the spatial arrangement of molecules on a nanoparticle’s surface is key to understanding its interactions. Here, the authors use dSTORM imaging and probabilistic modelling to map the distribution of fluorophores on a nanoparticle, finding that ligand coverage is heterogeneous and highly...
