Dipeptide recognition in water mediated by mixed monolayer protected gold nanoparticles.
Mixed monolayer protected gold nanoparticles were prepared featuring functional groups on their surfaces that can engage in interactions with peptides. DOSY NMR binding studies indicate that nanoparticles containing a combination of three orthogonal functional groups are more efficient in binding to dipeptides than mono or difunctionalised analogues.
