Abstract: The transmembrane behavior of rich arginine(R) peptide modified gold nanoparticles was studied. The functionalization of the gold nanoparticles was achieved by the conjugation of transmembrane peptide RRRRRRRR(R8) with peptide CALNN stabilized gold nanoparticle through the standard streptavidin-biotin chemistry. The transmembrane delivery of the model compound, fluorescein, was studied by confocal scanning laser microscope. The result suggests that the R8 modified gold nanoparticles can be used as an excellent vector for transporting extracellular materials into cells with low cellular cytotoxicity.
