  • First Online:
Protein-Nanoparticle Interactions

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Biophysics ((BIOPHYSICS,volume 15))

Abstract

In order to have deep understanding on the nature and composition of the formed protein corona, one should have adequate information on the available characterization techniques. In this chapter, comprehensive descriptions on the protein corona evaluation methods (e.g., spectroscopy methods (UV/Vis, Raman, fluorescence, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc.), dynamic light scattering, circular dichroism, differential centrifugal sedimentation, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, X-ray crystallography, chromatography, etc.) together with their limitations are provided.
