Understanding the Adsorption of Peptides and Proteins onto PEGylated Gold Nanoparticles

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) surface conjugations are widely employed to render passivating properties to nanoparticles in biological applications. The benefits of surface passivation by PEG are reduced protein adsorption, diminished non-specific interactions, and improvement in pharmacokinetics. Howev...
