title: Toward a universal "adhesive nanosheet" for the assembly of multiple nanoparticles based on a protein-induced reduction/decoration of graphene oxide.
abstract: Graphene oxide (GO) can be reduced and decorated by bovine serum albumin (BSA) at suitable pH and temperature. The resulting bioconjugates between BSA and GO or reduced GO are ideal templates for highly efficient assembly of a variety of nanoparticles with dramatically different compositions, sizes, shapes, and properties. This methodology offers a great chance for investigations on the structure-performance relationship of hybrid nanomaterials toward combinatorial material design aiming at special functions and applications.
