Chapter 7: Interaction of Gold Nanoparticle with Proteins<br />

complexes of gold nanoparticles with BSA have been studied using UV-visible spectroscopy,<br />

zeta potential and SANS. The red shift in the SPR peak and the build-up of scattering<br />

intensity in the low-Q region of SANS data confirms the adsorption of protein on<br />

nanoparticles. The increase in zeta potential of the gold nanoparticles in the presence of BSA<br />

also support to the conjugation of protein with nanoparticles. The adsorption of protein on the<br />

gold nanoparticles has been modeled in SANS by a core-shell structure consisting of<br />

adsorbed protein forming a shell around the gold nanoparticle.<br />
