“…In contrast to the behavior of NT, Hcys and GSH, replace nonthiolated AuNP shell and in the proper pH range induce assembly of gold nanoparticles ( Figure 5) (Lim et al, 2007, Lim et al, 2008, Stobiecka et al, 2010a, Stobiecka et al, 2010b. Large increase of the RELS signal was reported for both GSH and Hcys confirming the assembly process (Stobiecka et al, 2010a, Stobiecka et al, 2010b. While in the Hcys-induced assembly, the main forces are Hbonding, in the case of GSH-induced assembly, the zwitterionic forces are dominant, although the H-bonding plays also a role (Lim et al, 2007, Lim et al, 2008.…”
