BIOCONJUGATE OF R-PHYCOERYTHRIN WITH AG0 NANOPARTICLE – FUNCTIONAL NANOSTRUCTURE FOR CANCER THERANOSTICS, FLUORESCENT BIOSENSORS AND ELECTROCHEMICAL BIOINTERFACES

Abstract

Bioconjugate Ag‧PE was obtained by the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in the phycoerythrin tunnel cavity without an exogenous reducing agent. Physicochemical properties of the conjugate and analysis of published data indicate that Ag‧PE can find application for diagnostics and therapy (theranostics) of cancer, as well as fluorescent biosensors and electrochemical biointerfaces.
