Abstract
The interaction of proteins with ultrasmall gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) is investigated. Upon protein association, the fluorescence of Au NCs is significantly enhanced and, concomitantly, their luminescence lifetime is prolonged. The results stress the importance of investigating the behavior of fluorescent metal NCs in complex biological environment for advancing their bio-nanotechnology applications.Entities:
