RESUMO
The qualitative composition and zeta potential of magnetite nanoparticles (size 4.2±1.2 nm) obtained by co-precipitation method were determined by X-ray and diffraction dynamic light scattering. The zeta potential of Fe3O4 particles was -15.1±4.5 mV. The possibility of interaction of magnetite nanoparticles with human blood plasma proteins and hemoglobin as well as with erythrocyte membranes was demonstrated by spectrophotometry, electrophoresis, and fluorescence methods. No changes in the sizes of hemoglobin molecules and plasma proteins after their modification by Fe3O4 particles were detected. The possibility of modifying the structural state of erythrocyte membranes in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles was demonstrated by means of fluorescent probe 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate.
