Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjn2nvtz2" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />A green synthesis was developed to prepare protein coated gold nanoparticles (NPs) where apo-α-lactalbumin was used as reducing and stabilizing agent. The NPs are luminescent and non-toxic to normal cells but more toxic to MCF-7 cells over HeLa.</p> </abstract>
