Abstract
We review our work on hybrid gold nanoparticles that are optimized for their bright fluorescence and photobleaching resistance. Our first goal in using gold nanoparticles is to load a large density of photoactive molecules onto a biocompatible nanoplatform. Our second goal is to optimize the molecule-gold nanoparticle interaction to improve the photoactive properties, in particular their photobleaching resistance. In this project gold nanoparticles have typical dimensions in the 50-100 nm that are suitable for in vivo imaging and photodynamic therapy. Their geometrical shapes include nanoshell, spheres, rods, bipyramids and stars.
