| Abstract | With the widespread use of nanoparticles (NPs) such as quantum dots (QDs) in biomedical applications, and the growing concerns about nanotoxicity of these engineered nanoparticles, the importance of nanoparticle–protein interaction has not been well emphasized. In order to better understand the physical basis of the biological activity of nanoparticles in nanomedicine applications or under conditions of environmental exposure, the interaction of CdSe/ZnS QDs having different surface ligands as a model with human serum albumin (HSA) has been investigated in detail by various spectroscopic techniques including UV-vis absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. We find that QDs coated with zwitterionic D-penicillamine (DPA-QDs) or anionic mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA-QDs) bind to the same site of serum albumin, domain II A, site I, and the differences of the Stern–Volmer quenching constant KSV and the binding constant K are about sixfold and sevenfold after 4 h of mixing, respectively. We also find tentative evidence that the model proteins undergo conformational changes upon association with the QDs that have different surface ligands. Additional cellular cytotoxicity assays, with HeLa cells, reveal that the stronger adsorption capacity of HSA on the surface of MSA-QDs results in more reduced cytotoxicity for the protein-coated QDs, while the weaker binding capacity of HSA on DPA-QDs has less effect on the interaction of QDs with cells. These findings have shed light on the design and application of QDs nanomaterials to nanomedicine by a comprehensive preconsideration of their interaction with human serum proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
