for selective targeting of of the folate receptor that is overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells. For this porpuse, we conjugated 6-mercapto-1-hexanol, as a bifunctional linker between folate and gold nanoparticle (GNP)....

We have designed a new folate-conjugated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) to selectively target the folate receptor that is overexpressed on the surface of tumoral cells. For this purpose, we made 4-aminothiophenol, as a bifunctional linker to react...
