| description | The use of biomolecules to synthesize inorganic nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles,
offers the ability to induce controlled growth under mild environmental conditions.
Here, recently discovered silk-like “suckerin” proteins are used to induce the formation of gold
nanoparticles (AuNPs). Advantage is taken of the distinctive
biological and physico-chemical characteristics of suckerins,
namely their facile recombinant expression, their solubility
in aqueous solutions, and their modular primary structure
with high molar content of redox-active tyrosine (Tyr) residues
to induce the formation of AuNPs not only in solution,
but also from nanostructured solid substrates fabricated from
suckerins. |
