Polycationic gold nanorods as multipurpose in vitro microtubule markers

V. Wedler, F. Strauss, S. Sudhakar, G. L. Hermsdorf, Y.-D. Stierhof, E. Schäffer

This paper develops polycationic gold nanorods as microtubule markers by functionalizing them with short cationic thiols, enabling plasmonic stimulation and use as bleach- and blinkfree markers.
