Scheme 2

Functionalization of the spherical nanoparticle sample was achieved through a three-step synthesis. Alexa Fluor 591 and protected PTD were respectively coupled to the nanoparticle via carbodiimide chemistry. The ivDde protecting groups were removed by treatment with a 2.0% hydrazine solution in water.
