Abstract

Although carbodiimides and succinimides are broadly employed for the formation of amide bonds (i.e. in aminoacid coupling), their use in the coupling of peptides to water-soluble carboxylic terminated colloidal gold nanoparticles remains challenging. In this paper, we present an optimization study for the successful coupling of the KPQPRPLS peptideto spherical and rod-like colloidal gold nanoparticles. We show that the concentration, reaction time and the chemical environment are all critical to achieve the formation of robust, peptide-coated colloidal nanoparticles. Agarose gel electrophoresis was used for the characterization of conjugates.
