- Abstract
- All bound up: A poly(L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine)-based ligand converts hydrophobic nanoparticles into hydrophilic and biocompatible species through several binding modes. Nanoparticles functionalized with this ligand (see picture) are highly stable in various aqueous solutions. A successful invivo MRI application using functionalized Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles confirmed their suitability for various biomedical applications.
