Abstract

This chapter aims to describe the combination of photoactive nanoparticles (NPs) and biomolecules in order to create the so-called smart NPs and their applications in light-based therapies and diagnostics. Several methods of ligand–NP functionalization, providing a cross section of various ligand classes, have been discussed together with the different approaches of complex characterization technique currently in use.
