Comparison of the size-dependent virus-inhibition by ligand functionalized gold nanoparticles (a) Although smaller sized gold nanoparticles decorate virions, the inhibition of virus-cell binding turned out to be inefficient. (b) Larger virus-sized gold nanoparticles induce the formation of virus-inhibitor clusters, inhibiting the virus-cell binding more efficiently.
