Self-Assembled Recombinant Proteins on Metallic Nanoparticles as Bimodal Imaging Probes
Esra Yuca,Candan Tamerler +1 more
TL;DR: A novel bimodal imaging system that can be finely tuned with respect to nanoparticle size and protein concentration is demonstrated and may mitigate the limitation of depth penetration into biologic tissues and provide a high signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
