Controlling gold nanoparticle seeded growth in thermophilic ferritin protein templates.

In this study, we explore whether using a gold complex with electrostatic complementarity to the anionic ferritin cavity can promote efficient seeded nanoparticle growth. We also compare wt AfFtn and a closed pore mutant AfFtn to explore whether the ferritin pores influence final AuNP size. PMID: 28683348 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
