Hybrid biological particle-metal nanoparticle complex shows unique combined and often synergetic physical and biochemical properties. Here, we propose the formation of hybrid gold nanoparticle-mitochondria complex via electrostatic attraction. First, we synthesize positively-charged uniform gold nanoparticles. Second, we selectively isolate mitochondria from L6 cells and combine the mitochondria with the positively-charged nanoparticles by controlling the concentration of mitochondria. The as-made gold nanoparticle-mitochondria complex is characterized by dark-field microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Its biochemical property is also investigated. |
