The study found that the dynamics of gold nanorods are decoupled in semidilute mucin solutions.
Using fluctuation correlation spectroscopy, key metrics showed significant differences in rotational and translational movements.
The research highlights the biologically relevant interactions between nanorods and the polymer mucin in solution.
These findings suggest that local heterogeneity in mucin affects the behavior of nanoparticles, impacting potential applications.

Implication

Fluorescent correlation spectroscopy revealed decoupling of translational and rotational movements in nanorods, highlighting the role of local heterogeneity.

Abstract

We investigated the rotational and translational dynamics of gold nanorods in semidilute solutions of bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM), a biologically relevant bottlebrush polymer rich in MUC5B. Using fluctuation correlation spectroscopy...
