title: Protein-assisted 2D assembly of gold nanoparticles on a polysaccharide surface.
abstract: Site-specific assembly of gold nanoparticles on a polysaccharide surface was accomplished via a straightforward method exploiting interfacial polymer blends, selective protein adsorption and electrostatic interaction. The method could be useful in further applications due to the universal nature of the utilized phenomena.
