description The behavior of a fluorophore near a gold nanoparticle is rationalized by a theoretical description of the parameters that modify the fluorescence emission: nanoparticle-fluorophore distance, fluorescence quantum yield (φ0), and fluorophore absorption and emission spectra, to find optimum conditions for designing fluorophore-nanoparticle probes. The theoretical maximum gain in brightness of the nanoparticle-fluorophore system with respect to the isolated molecule increases almost inversely proportional to φ0. The brightness enhancement in imaging experiments in vitro was assessed by using Au-SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles deposited on glass. A ∼13-fold emission brightness enhancement for weakly fluorescent molecules was observed. A significant increase in fluorophore photostability, rendering longer imaging times, was obtained for fluorophores interacting with gold nanoparticles incorporated by endocytosis in cells.
