Nanoscale characterization of interactions between molecular specific plasmonic nanoparticles and living cells and its implications for optical imaging of protein-protein interactions

Imaging of biomolecules on the nano-scale is a crucial developing technology with major implications for our understanding of biological systems and for detection and therapy of disease. Plasmonic nanoparticles are a key optical contrast agent whose signal is generated by the collective oscillation...
