Applications of nanotechnology in food have rapidly increased in the past decades. Ultra-
small gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), composed of several to roughly a hundred atoms …

For the past decades, the synthesis of metal nanoclusters has been a great interest for
research, for their unique physicochemical properties and great contributions to the catalytic …

Protein-encapsulated gold nanoclusters have shown many advantages over other gold
nanocluster systems, including green synthesis, biocompatibility, high water solubility, and …

Protein-stabilized gold nanoclusters (protein-Au NCs) have been an attractive frontier of
nanoparticle research. Due to their unique fluorescence properties, high stability …

Abstract Fluorescent gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) have become a promising material in
nanobiotechnology due to their smaller size, fluorescence properties, and biocompatibility …

This report demonstrates the first pH‐dependent synthesis of pepsin‐mediated gold
nanoclusters (AuNCs) with blue‐, green‐, and red‐fluorescent emission from Au5 (Au8) …

Synthesis of ultrasmall water-soluble fluorescent gold nanoclusters is reported. The clusters
have a decent quantum yield, high colloidal stability, and can be readily conjugated with …

Highly fluorescent gold nanoclusters have attracted much attention recently. Here, we
reported a “green,” facile method for fine-tuning the fluorescence emission wavelength of …

Abstract The gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are a special kind of gold nanomaterial containing
several gold atoms. Because of their small size and large surface area, Au NCs possess …

In this study, we generated gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) using inexpensive chicken egg white
proteins (AuNCs@ ew) as reagents. AuNCs@ ew were generated by reacting aqueous …
