Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Synthesis of nanoparticles by a green chemistry approach has seen great attention due to several advantages compared to conventional chemical methods. In this present article we have demonstrated a biosynthetic approach for the fabrication of gold nanobioconjugates (AuNPs-OX) using Olax Scandens leaf extract. The as-synthesized AuNPs-OX have been thoroughly characterized by several physicochemical techniques. The stability of AuNPs-OX was investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy in various physiological solutions. A plausible mechanism for the formation and stabilization of AuNPs-OX has been briefly discussed. Administration of AuNPs-OX to cancer cell lines of lung (A549), breast (MCF-7) and colon (COLO 205) shows the significant inhibition of cancer cell proliferation compared to pristine Olax Scandens leaf extract. Additionally, fluorescence image of A549 cancer cells incubated with AuNPs-OX shows brighter red fluorescence than the cancer cells treated with only Olax leaf extract. Therefore we strongly believe that the green synthesized AuNPs-OX could be used as a "2-in-1 system" for potential application of cancer diagnostics as well as therapeutics in the near future. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
