“Pulling” π-conjugated polyene biomolecules into water: enhancement of light-thermal stability and bioactivity by a facile graphene oxide-based phase-transfer approach

This work demonstrated that graphene oxide (GO) could not only be exploited as a nanovector to efficiently transfer pi-conjugated polyene biomolecules from the organic phase to the aqueous phase, but also could enhance light-thermal stability and bioactivity of the transferred pi-conjugated polyene biomolecules.
