GQDs can rapidly extract phospholipid molecules from cell membrane in molecular dynamics simulation. Due to the presence of hydrophilic hydroxyl groups on the surface of GOQDs, the ability to extract phospholipid molecules from the cell membrane is weak.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
