Fluorescence quenching efficiency, equilibrium binding association and binding cooperativity between carbon nanomaterials and plasma proteins. (a) Fluorescence quenching efficiency, as represented by KSV, of carbon nanomaterials. (b–d) Nanomaterial–protein binding parameters: (b) Dissociation constant, KD, (c) Association constant, KA, and (d) Hill coefficient, n. For particular samples under comparison, statistically significant differences for P<0.05 and 0.01 were represented by * and **, respectively. The two-tailed Student’s t-test was used for all statistical analyses.
