Characterization of IONPs. Transmission Electron Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy showed the shape and size of the IONPs (A,B), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy showed that Fe and O2 are the major elements present in the powder (C), X-ray Diffraction showed that IONPs are in crystalline form (D). UV spectra of ct-DNA in the absence and presence of increasing concentrations of nanoparticles (0–3 mM). The inset shows a plot of 1/ΔA vs. 1/[NP] (E).
