DnaK protein alleviates toxicity induced by citrate-coated gold nanoparticles in Escherichia coli.
A number of previously reported studies suggest that synthetic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are capable of stabilising proteins against heat stress in vitro. However, it remains to be understood if AuNPs confer stability to proteins against cellular stress in vivo. Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are conse...
