title: Functionalized Ag nanoparticles with tunable optical properties for selective protein analysis.
abstract: We present a preparation procedure for small sized biocompatibly coated Ag nanoparticles with tunable surface plasmon resonances. The conditions were optimised with respect to the resonance Raman signal enhancement of heme proteins and to the preservation of the native protein structure.
