Microalgae Peptide-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles as a Versatile Material for Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Microalgae peptides have many medical and industrial applications due to their functional properties. However, the rapid degradation of peptides not naturally present in biological samples represents a challenge. A strategy to increase microalgae peptide stability in biological samples is to use carriers to protect the active peptide and regulate its release. This study explores the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as carriers of the Chlorella microalgae peptide (VECYGPNRPQF). The potential of these peptide b… Show more

“…[ 11 ] The absorption maximum of GNR occurred at 785 nm, and the GNR@MSN‐NH 2 exhibited a red‐shift to 800 nm attributed to a local increase in the refractive index and scattering of the silica shell, as evident in the UV‐vis absorption spectra (Figure 1G). [ 12 ] After modification with PEG, the maximum absorption of BFP@GNR@MSN‐PEG‐SH shifted to 810 nm. The appearance of peaks at 280 nm for GMP was attributed to the absorption of QK peptide sequences, demonstrating that QK was successfully grafted onto the surface of BFP@GNR@MSN‐PEG‐SH.…”

“…Microalgae are also a source of valuable compounds which can be further stabilized on the NPs’ surface. The study by Torrez-Diaz et al proposed a method to stabilize Chlorella freshwater microalgae peptide (VECYGPNRPQF) on the Au NPs surface [ 96 ]. The NPs of Au were obtained through the chemical method of citrate reduction, and then peptide solution was added to the flask.…”
