TABLE I.

Essential properties of the proteins, BSA, CaM, and lysozyme, used in this study. The molecular weight (MW) and Stokes Radii show the range of protein sizes. The isoelectric point (pI) relates to protein charge. The number of surface lysines indicates the number of locations, where the protein may bind to the AuNP by virtue of the primary amine on lysine.

Protein MW (kDa) Stokes radius (nm) pI Number of surface lysines
BSA 66.50 3.4845 4.7 30–3546
Lysozyme 14.31 1.947 11.35 348
CaM 16.79 2.4949 5.4 7–850
