| Research Abstract |
The protein layners around colloidal nanoparticles, known as "protein corona", are formed when they are taken in living systems. The mechanism of the protein corona formation should be elucidated for safe development of the nanoparticles. In this study, protein corona formation mechanism was investigated using carbon nanotubes and charged homopolypeptides as models of nanoparticles and proteins, respectively. It was found that polyarginines were strongly bound to the carbon nanotubes, which suggests that arginine residues of proteins have a critical role in the protein corona formation of carbon nanotubes. The mechanistic insights can also be applied to other nanoparticles with aromatic moieties.
