Schematic illustration on how biomolecules can affect ROS generation connected to metallic NPs, including biological redox reactions with electron transfer, adsorption and desorption of biomolecules, corrosion, complexation between biomolecules and released (dissolved) metal ions in solution, and a variety of responses by cells, both inside and outside the cell membrane (cell interactions not covered in this review).
