Gold nanoparticles research
psdt. Part C is data collected in the second picture
1. Based on...
1. Based on the fact that the citrate anions cover the surface of each nanoparticle, explain what keeps the nanoparticles from sticking together (aggregating) in the original solution. 2. Why does adding the salt solution produce a different result from adding the sugar solution? 3. How could the effect in part C be used to detect the binding of biomolecules, such as DNA or antibodies, that stick to one another or to other molecules? How could these molecules be used to cause aggregation of the nanoparticles?
