The unique properties of peptides have led to their use in diverse applications in medicine
and nanotechnology. In order to demonstrate their utility as multifunctional, selective …

This study constitutes a demonstration of the biological route to controlled nano-fabrication
via modular multi-functional inorganic-binding peptides. Specifically, we use gold-and silica …

The monolayers composed of cobalt coordinated peptides were prepared on gold
substrates by two different approaches. One was the self-assembly method, which was used …

A novel synthetic route to peptide-capped gold nanoparticles was demonstrated herein.
Tetrachloroaurate ions were reduced with 2-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinyl] …

We report the synthesis and the use of a peptide nanostructure for the preparation of
modified gold nanoparticles and gold surfaces. A helical peptide bearing six crown ether …

In this work, the use of patterned proteins and peptides for the deposition of gold
nanoparticles on several substrates with different surface chemistries is presented. The …

A molecular biomimetics approach is presented in developing polypeptide-based coatings
for inorganic surfaces. In general, inorganic surface-binding polypeptides are genetically …

Using peptide-based materials to tailor self-assembled, nano-scaled hybrid materials with
potentially high biocompatibility/biodegradability is gaining importance in developing a …

The interaction between peptide and gold nanoparticle surfaces has been increasingly of
interest for bionanotechnology applications. To fully understand how to control such …
