Figure 2.
The upper panel shows the gold nanoparticles’ preparation steps: (a) HAuCl4·3H2O only, (b) HAuCl4·3H2O + GSH at pH 8, (c) formation of gold after the addition of NaBH4, and formation of gold nano-conjugates, (d) GNP-kaempferol, (e) GNP-chrysin, and (f) GNP-quercetin. The lower panels show (g) the UV-VIS spectra of the GNPs, (h) the UV-VIS spectra of GNP-kaempferol, (i) the UV-VIS spectra of GNP-chrysin, and (j) the UV-VIS spectra of GNP-quercetin.
