title: Bifunctional peptides that precisely biomineralize Au clusters and specifically stain cell nuclei.
abstract: A bifunctional peptide containing a domain that targets cell nuclei and a domain with the ability to biomineralize and capture Au clusters is presented. The peptide-Au clusters exhibit red emission (λ(em) = 677 nm) and specifically stain the nuclei of three cell lines.
