Fig. 1From: SiO2–alginate–melittin nano-conjugates suppress the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells: a controlled release approach leveraging alginate lyaseCharacterization of melittin, alginate and melittin–alginate conjugation. A, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the morphology of SiO2 nanoparticles (left) and SiO2–alginate–melittin nano-conjugates (right). B, Red bars represent the size distribution and light scattering intensity of SAMN nanoparticles. The blue bars illustrate the size distribution and light scattering intensity of SiO2 nanoparticles. C, HPLC analysis of synthesized melittin. D, ESI–MS analysis of synthesized melittin. E, FTIR spectra of synthesized molecules of melittin, alginate and melittin–alginate conjugationBack to article page
