¹H NMR (90:10 H₂O/D₂O) A broad set of peaks between 7 and 9 ppm, assigned to amide proton resonances; signals for more upfield protons of hydrophobic side-chain resonances were also observed
¹H NMR, MUC4 immunogen features All NMR features of the immunogen were observed in the AuNP; the singlet marked “X” was assigned to a small amount of NHS remaining after purification
