Functionalized Au15 nanoclusters as luminescent probes for protein carbonylation detection

Atomically precise gold nanoclusters hold promise as non-linear optical probes for biological imaging. Here functionalized luminescent gold nanoclusters bind free carbonyls via oxime bond formation, allowing detection of carbonylated proteins via gel electrophoresis and fluorescence imaging.
