Abstract

The lack of fundamental understanding about the specific reaction behind the attraction of gold nanoparticle to fingermark residue has been reiterated many times over the years. Numerous scientific works has discussed the theoretical possibilities of interaction pathways, mostly favoring electrostatic interaction between negatively charged citrate capped gold nanoparticle and n-terminus of the amino acid in fingermark residue. Nevertheless, in light of recent findings, formation of chemical bonding between the gold nanoparticle and fingermark residue offers plausible explanation.
