This cover represents a functionalized gold nanoparticle surrounded by water molecules in the first few hydration shells following a continuum representing the bulk environment. This article highlights how surface functionalization on a gold nanoparticle and the surrounding hydration shell is important to understand the interfacial interactions, solvation thermodynamics, and behavior in biological and physicochemical systems
