Advancement of Fluorescent and Structural Properties of Bovine Serum Albumin-Gold Bioconjugates in Normal and Heavy Water with pH Conditioning and Ageing

The red-emitting fluorescent properties of bovine serum albumin (BSA)–gold conjugates are commonly attributed to gold nanoclusters formed by metallic and ionized gold atoms, stabilized by the protein. Others argue that red fluorescence originates from gold cation–protein complexes instead, not gold...
