A "Label-Free" Method for the Determination of Polyethylene-Glycol Functionalization Efficiency on Gold Monolayer Protected Clusters
Most bionanotechnology-based agents require careful control of surface properties to improve vascular circulation time, control delivery characteristics and provide biocompatibility, especially when used for diagnostics or therapy. The number and type of protective and targeting ligands modulate the...
