| Abstract | The chain length of ligands plays an important role in many biomedical applications. Yet the interaction of nanoparticles with surface-capped ligands of different length (especial the hydrophobic chains) and cells is neglected, and thereby the underlying mechanism influencing cellular uptake is unclear. Herein the role of alkyl length on AuNPs in mediating serum protein adsorption and the subsequent cellular uptake by A549 cells was studied. The AuNPs were modified with carboxylic alkyl thiols of different chain length (3MA, 11MA and 16MA), resulting in MA-AuNPs with a size of 5 nm in dry state and several tens of nm in media. The MA-AuNPs possessed a negatively charged surface, whose zeta potential was around −20 mV in serum-containing medium regardless of the length of ligands. Whereas the total amount of adsorbed serum proteins had no significant difference, the relative amounts of adhesion mediators especially vitronectin (Vn) depended on the alkyl length significantly. The 16MA-AuNPs adsorbed the largest amount of Vn, and were internalized by A549 cells with the largest quantity and good distribution in cytoplasm. Taking account all the results, the protein adsorption and its role in linking alkyl length on AuNPs to cellular uptake are figured out. |

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.
