Characteristics of FCS proteins associating with AuNPs. The number of unique proteins identified, via LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry, in AuNP-FCS complexes were characterised by their functional groupings, isoelectric point, molecular weight, hydropathicity and aliphatic index; evaluated when incubated in (left column) 10 %, (centre column) 55 %, and (right column) 100 % FCS; data presented is of unique proteins identified in all 3 biological replicates; protein functional classification is based on http://www.Uniprot.org, protein parameters were determined using the ProtParam tool of http://www.expasy.org; this analysis was performed with three technical replicates of each biological replicate; for confidence of identification the proteins presented in these graphs are only proteins found in every biological replicate
