Abstract Colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) serve as promising contrast agents in photoacoustic (PA) imaging, yet their utility is limited due to absorption peak the visible window overlapping with that of hemoglobin. To overcome such limitation, this report describes an ultrapure chain-like nanoparticle (CGNP) clusters a redshift wavelength at 650 nm. The synthesized CGNP show excellent biocompatibility and photostability. These are conjugated arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) peptides...
