The Choice of Nanoparticle Surface‐Coupled Fluorescent Dyes Impacts Cellular Interaction

Fluorescently-labelled nanoparticles show great promise for nanoparticle tracking and detection in biological or medical applications. However, these fluorescent molecules functionalized on the surface of can impact interaction with biomolecules, cells, subsequently influence their uptake. To explore extent interactions, PEGylated gold were six structurally different dyes to demonstrate that presence dye alters behavior, particular interactions bovine serum albumin, which consequently influenced cellular
