A genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus that can produce gold nanoparticles from a metal salt precursor.

A genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus that can produce gold nanoparticles from a metal salt precursor.

We genetically modified tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) to surface display a characterized peptide with potent metal ion binding and reducing capacity (MBP TMV), and demonstrate that unlike wild type (WT) TMV, this construct can lead to the formation of discrete 10-40 nm gold nanoparticles when mixed wit...
