Fig. 2From: Vancomycin-conjugated polydopamine-coated magnetic nanoparticles for molecular diagnostics of Gram-positive bacteria in whole bloodThe schematic represents the synthesis of PDA-MNPs and van-PDA-MNPs. Freshly prepared MNPs form larger MNPs through dopamine coating. Van was grafted to PDA-MNPs through the reaction of primary amino groups of van to phenyl rings of PDA. www.biorender.com was used to make the schematicBack to article page
