Abstract

Spontaneous sorption of proteins on the nanoparticles' surface leads to the fact that nanoparticles in biological media are always enveloped by a layer of proteins-the protein corona. Corona proteins affect the properties of nanoparticles and their behavior in a biological environment. In this regard, knowledge about the composition of the corona is a necessary element for the development of nanomedicine. Because proteins have different sorption efficacy, isolating particles with a full corona and characterizing the full corona is challenging. In this study, we propose a photo-activated cross-linker for full protein corona fixation. We believe that the application of our proposed approach will make it possible to capture and visualize the full corona on nanoparticles coated with a lipid shell.
