Structural and optical characterization of folate-conjugated gold-nanoparticles

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) represent a novel nanomaterials applied in various nanotechnology fields because of their special optical properties. On the other hand, folic acid and folate can be used for selective targeting of nanoparticles towards cancer cells. Folate conjugated AuNPs can be consider...
