Physicochemical characterization of PBP10 peptides functionalized by gold- and aminosilane-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Schematic representation of MNP@NH2/MNP@Au-based nanosystems (a). Purple circles indicate gelsolin-derived peptides attached to the surface of MNPs. Elemental analysis of gold-decorated nanomaterials (b). Fluorescence spectra of RhB-PBP10 and RhB-PBP10-Cys peptides anchored to the surface of aminosilane- and gold-decorated nanomaterials (c). A comparison of the Fourier transform infrared spectra for PBP10, RhB-PBP10 and RhB-PBP10-Cys-based nanosystems (d)
