These outcomes indicate that NGQDs are composed of hy2 hydrophobic aromatic two domains and hydrophilic functional groups like carboxylic drophobic aromatic spsp domains and hydrophilic functional groupssuch as carboxylic acid, amine groups, etc. acid, amine groups, and so forth. NGQDs show cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline custom synthesis UV-Vis absorption peaks at 250 and 350 nm, which corresponded for the transition of aromatic sp2 C=C along with the n transition of carbonyl C=O [62], respectively, which means that NGQDs are composed of aromatic sp2 C=C domains and carbonyl groups (Figure 3a). In addition, the NGQDs emitted blue fluorescence (Em, max = 432 nm) at 365 nm excitation (Figure 3b,c). From the overall characterization data, we demonstrated that NGQDs had the characteristic properties of GQDs: the graphitic core together with the diverse functional groups plus the constructive charge necessary to interact with genes.Nanomaterials 2021, 11, 11, x FOR PEER Review Nanomaterials 2021,of five of 512Figure 2.

Furthermore, the NGQDs emitted blue fluorescence (Em, max = 432 nm) at 365 nm excitation (Figure 3b,c). From the general characterization data, we demonstrated that NGQDs had the characteristic properties of GQDs: the graphitic core using the diverse functional groups and the good charge requiredspectrum of NGQDs. to interact with genes.

In the all round characterization data, we demonstrated that NGQDs had the characteristic properties of GQDs: the graphitic core with all the diverse functional groups plus the positive charge expected to interact with genes.Figure 3.
