Study on interaction between phosphatidylcholine(PC) liposome and gold nanoparticles by TEM observation

Abstract

  The PC liposomes constructed with one lipid bilayer have been fabricated without using chloroform solution and phosphate-buffer saline. After reaction promotion, the Au NPs covered with PC molecules exist on the outside of the liposome membrane. The thickness of the liposome membrane is estimated to be approximately 5 nm.
