In this work, gold embedded chitosan nanoparticles (Au@CS NPs) were fabricated by a one-pot method. The benzaldehyde-terminated poly[(2-methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine] (PMPC) was applied to modification of the gold doped chitosan nanoparticles. The obtained Au@CS-PMPC NPs had the diameter of 135 nm with a narrow distribution. The size of the Au@CS-PMPC NPs, as well as the size of the embedded gold NPs, might be well-controlled by adjusting the feeding ratio between chitosan and HAuCl4. Furthermore, the Au@CS-PMPC NPs showed increased colloidal stability, high drug loading content, pH-responsive drug release, excellent biocompatibility and bright fluorescence emission. The results demonstrated that Au@CS-PMPC NPs showed a great potential for tumor therapy via the combination advantages of pH-sensitive controlled drug release and cellular fluorescence imaging.

The yeast peroxisomal adenine nucleotide carrier, Ant1p, was shown to catalyse unidirectional transport in addition to exchange of substrates. In both transport modes, proton movement occurs. Nucleotide hetero-exchange is H+-compensated and electroneutral. Furthermore, microscopic fluorescence imaging of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein targeted to peroxisomes shows that Ant1p is involved in the formation of a ΔpH across the peroxisomal membrane, acidic inside.
