Figure 6From: Laser ablation-based one-step generation and bio-functionalization of gold nanoparticles conjugated with aptamersTEM analysis of AuNPs conjugated with aptamers against streptavidin. TEM micrographs of AuNPs without streptavidin (i), and after incubation with streptavidin (ii). The insert displays a scheme of the proposed composition of the agglomerates. Please note that the agglomerates are displayed in a simplified manner in the scheme, de facto streptavidin is not planar but tetrahedral.Back to article page
