title: Surface functionalized silver nanoparticle conjugates: demonstration of uptake and release of a phototherapeutic porphyrin dye.
abstract: A facile supramolecular approach to prepare surface functionalized silver nanoparticle conjugates has been established and their enhanced molecular recognition features have been explored to demonstrate the uptake and stimulus responsive release of a phototherapeutic porphyrin dye, the TMPyP.
