The conformational changes of Cyt c were verified by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The relationship between the aggregation states and colors of the Au NPs after the addition of Cyt c was characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).国家自然科学基金(20603027,20423002)资助项
