From: Peptide-biphenyl hybrid-capped AuNPs: stability and biocompatibility under cell culture conditions
Optical microscope images of the morphology of Hep G2 cells. (a) untreated (b) after 24-h incubation with chloramine-T (positive control) and after 24-h exposure to AuNP preparations (c) Au[(Gly-Trp-Met)2B], (d) Au[(Gly-Tyr-TrCys)2B], (e) Au[(Gly-Tyr-Met)2B], (f) Au[(Met)2B] and (g) Au[(TrCys)2B] in EMEM/S-; asterisk and bold letters are used to signal the most stable AuNP.
