Preparation of 1-D nanoparticle superstructures with tailorable thicknesses using gold-binding peptide conjugates.
We describe the preparation of new 1-D gold nanoparticle superstructures with tailorable thicknesses formed using a self-assembled gold-binding peptide conjugate template and examine how the synthesis and assembly mechanism impacts the organization of the superstructures.
