Alignment of gold nanoparticles using insulin fibrils as a sacrificial biotemplate.
Insulin fibrils were used as a biotemplate for creating gold nanoparticle chains on glass substrates, and then subsequently removed by exposing the samples to a low-pressure plasma, leaving the gold nanoparticles on the glass surface in their template positions.
