Capping drives the behavior, dissolution and (eco)toxicity of silver nanoparticles towards microorganisms and mammalian cells

Surface coating plays a fundamental role in driving silver nanoparticle (AgNP) toxicity towards cells, but no clarity exists on the mechanism behind it. AgNPs with two different capping agents, citrate and l -cysteine (citLcys) and sodium-3-mercapto-1-propanesulfonate (3MPS), developed as sensors fo...
