Characterization of AgNPs in the presence PrP_95–110 or Aβ oligomer/PrP_95–110.

Notes: (A) UV–Vis absorption spectra of AgNPs in the absence and presence of PrP_95–110 or Aβ oligomer/PrP_95–110. TEM images of AgNPs in the presence of PrP_95–110 (B) or Aβ oligomer/PrP_95–110 (C). The concentrations of AgNPs, PrP_95–110 and Aβ sample (equivalent monomer) were 2.4 nM, 0.1 μM and 2 μM, respectively.

Abbreviations: UV, ultraviolet; Vis, visible; AgNP, silver nanoparticle; PrP, prion protein; Aβ, beta-amyloid; TEM, transmission electron microscope.
