Gold nanoparticles target HIV
Advertisement
gold nanoparticles functionalised with aptamers have been found to be highly effective inhibitors for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 reverse transcriptase. The nanoparticles particles have been shown to reduce the ability of the HIV virus to reproduce and infect new cells.
The scientists behind the work describe how inhibition is enhanced further by using combinations of different aptamers that each target different parts of the virus.
