| Peptide Synthesis | … 22–27. There have been, however, significant barriers for broad implementation of bottom-up patterning utilizing peptides and other biological templates … The peptide used in this work was custom synthesized by GenScript (Piscataway, NJ) and purified to 95% by reverse … | Get A Quote |
The use of biological materials as templates for functional molecular assemblies is an active research field at the interface between chemistry， biology， and materials science. We demonstrate the formation of gold nanofiber films on β-sheet peptide domains assembled at the air/water interface. The gold deposition scheme employed a recently discovered chemical process involving spontaneous crystallization and reduction of water-soluble Au(SCN)4(1-) upon anchoring to surface-displayed amine moieties. Here we show that an interlinked network of crystalline Au nanofibers is readily formed upon incubation of the Au(iii) thiocyanate complex with the peptide monolayers. Intriguingly， the resultant films were op... More
