Oligochitosan-stabilized photoluminescent gold nanoconstructs for optical bioimaging
Abstract Background Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are typically composed of several to tens of gold atoms which are stabilized with biomacromolecules such as bovine serum albumin (BSA). Au NCs fluoresces in the visible to near infrared region, in a size-dependent manner. AuNCs solutions have potential a...
