title: Phototriggered growth of crystalline Au structures in the presence of a DNA-surfactant complex.
abstract: A method for the preparation of complex anisotropic gold structures with potential uses in catalysis and photonics is presented based on the use of salmon sperm DNA and a photosensitizer to enable light triggered gold salt reduction.
