DOI: 10.1021/acsami.8b11980
Abstract: We synthesize indole derivative-capped gold nanoparticles (Au_IDs) via a straightforward route to fight multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. When gold nanoparticles are modified with two indole derivatives, tryptophan and 5-aminoindole, they exhibit excellent antibacterial activities against both… read more here.
