(a) HSA. On the left, the secondary structure of the protein; on the right, the protein surface colored according to hydrophobicity (hydrophobic residues in blue and charged or polar residues in green); (b) the ligand-protected NP, with gray Au core and S atoms, and Z ligands. (c) Chemical composition of the Z and ZH ligands of the NP. (d) The Z and ZH ligands as represented by the CG model; C1, Q0, and Qda refer to nonbonded types of the Martini force field;42 poly(ethylene oxide) is the Martini type defined in Lee et al.43
