Encapsulated enhanced green fluorescence protein in silicananoparticle for cellular imaging

Abstract

The enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) is efficiently encapsulated in silica nanoparticle by multiple covalent bonds. The silica encapsulation greatly increases EGFP's fluorescence intensity and stabilities against protease, denaturant and heat, making it a potential fluorescence probe for cellular imaging.
