title: Facile synthesis of a peptidic Au(I)-metalloamphiphile and its self-assembly into luminescent micelles in water.
abstract: We report a short synthetic route for the preparation of a peptidic Au(I)-metalloamphiphile which, in buffered environments of physiological ionic strength, self-assembles into luminescent micellar nanostructures of 14 nm in diameter.
