Dr. Nick Fitzkee, assistant Professor of Biophysics & Chemistry, from Mississippi State University will present a seminar titled, Developing a Molecular Understanding Gold Nanoparticle-Protein Interactions. Abstract When exposed to a solution containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), proteins spontaneously bind to the nanoparticle surface, leading to the formation of a stable surface coating, or biocorona. The composition of this biocorona in biological fluids depends on various factors, and it is currently impossible to predict whether an adsorbed protein will retain its function [...]
