Abstract

Gold nanoparticles capped by thymine, thymidine and thymidine 5′-monophosphate were prepared and characterised by spectroscopy and microscopy techniques. AuNPs incubated with U87 cancer cells were taken up and showed a particular ability to overcome intracellular boundaries, being present in various cell compartments.
