“…It has been shown that the structural and chemical properties of both nanoparticles and proteins along with the degree of the interaction between them play key roles in regulating such surface-driven modifications in the native protein structures . Furthermore, in a complex nanoparticle–protein system, the presence of nanoparticles may control the interaction between protein molecules as well as their enzymatic activity and protein delivery. ,,− On the other hand, it is also possible that the interaction of proteins can alter the surface properties and colloidal stability of the nanoparticles. , Proteins may influence the various phase transformations in the nanoparticles, for example, gelation, crystallization, glass transition, and flocculation, which can be used to prepare multifunctional materials. ,, In addition to these, the protein corona has also been shown to influence several other properties of the nanoparticle system such as degradation, accumulation, clearance, inflammation, and cellular uptake. , The most important aspect of the nanoparticle–protein interaction is that it can modify the biophysical properties of the nanoparticles, which often differ significantly from those of the bare nanoparticles . The protein adsorption on nanoparticles confers a new biological identity to the biological milieu, which subsequently controls the biological response of the nanoparticles .…”
