Bionano interactions

Effect of protein corona on the transfection efficiency of lipid-coated graphene oxide-based cell transfection reagents

Coating graphene oxide nanoflakes with cationic lipids leads to highly homogeneous nanoparticles (GOCL NPs) with optimised physicochemical properties for gene delivery applications. In view of in vivo applications, here we use dynamic light scattering, micro-electrophoresis and one?dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to explore the bionano interactions between GOCL/DNA complexes (hereafter referred to as ”grapholipoplexes”) and human plasma.
