Abstract
In current era, the engineered nanoparticles (NPs) are being widely used in different fields of science and technology such as drug delivery, biosensing, antibiotics, and imaging (Nel in Nature Materials 8:543–557, 2009 [1]; Arakha in Scientific reports 5, 2015 [2]). Inside the biological milieu, these engineered nanoparticles come in myriad shape and interact with cell, membrane, lipid, protein, DNA, and establish nano–biointerface. The interaction pattern at this nano–biointerface largely depends upon the physicochemical properties of the interface.
