| Component | Size [nm] | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Gold Nanoparticle | ~20 | Can vary, most common is 20. Frens (1973) |
| Iron Oxide Nanoparticle | 5-15 | Can be much larger with emulsion methods. This size is most common when magentic properties are desired. Called partial reduction coprecipitation method. |
| Antibody | 15.5 x 11 | PDB: 1igt measured in VMD |
| Human Serum Albumin | 7.6 x 7 | PDB: 1e7i measured in VMD |
| 10 Amino Acid Peptide | ~1.5 (coiled globule sphere) | Paper I wrote on Peptide Conformations |
| Salicylic Acid (drug) | 0.6 x 0.5 | PubChem structure measured in VMD |

Relative Size of Proteins, Nanoparticles, Antibodies, Peptides, and Drugs
Needing to know the relative size of these elements in biochemical systems often comes up in my research, so I've decided to write them.

This is great! Thank you for posting this. I am going to try making my own mock up in blender for some other Nano particles we are working with!
