Plasmonic Enhancement of Fluorescence and Protein Dynamics in Living Mammalian Cells (Adv. Mater. 45/2026)

Résumé fourni par la source

Plasmonic Gold nanostars act as plasmonic nanoantennas that couple to membrane proteins in living cells, simultaneously enhancing fluorescence and accelerating voltage responses of genetically encoded voltage indicators. By modifying protein photocycle dynamics through optical near fields, plasmonics emerges as a strategy to engineer biological function beyond genetic design, opening new opportunities for biosensing and optogenetics.
