Abstract

The high activity of nanoparticles is due to their small size and highly developed interfacial surface, strong adsorption properties, the presence of unsaturated metal valences, and the formation of a large set of chelated compounds. This opens up the possibility of using nanomaterials in the fields of Biomedicine, pharmacology, food production, and agricultural problems. The aim of this work was to study the interaction of silver nanoparticles (NPAg) with models of biological membranes based on natural phospholipids (PCe1) and cholesterol.
