Lysine-Capped Silica Nanoparticles: A Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy Study
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 May 2016
Abstract
To achieve the goal of biocompatibility in nano-based materials we must first obtain a fundamental understanding of the physical and chemical behavior of biomolecules at the interfaces of nanomaterials. A first step towards understanding protein interactions with nanomaterials is to understand how individual amino acids interact at the interfaces. In this paper, we investigated the lysine adsorption behavior on fumed silica nanoparticles by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. We use 1H, 13C and 15N solid-state magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR techniques to elucidate how lysine is adsorbed on silica nanoparticles surfaces via strong hydrogen-bonding interaction between the protonated side-chain amine group and silanol group on silica nanoparticles surfaces.*
