Over the past two decades, peptides have expanded the toolbox of additives for the preparation of noble metal nanoparticles. Their functional and structural modularity and accompanying molecular recognition and self-assembly properties offer unique opportunities for the controlled formation of NPs. Within this review, we highlight recent examples for the use of peptides to control a) the size and shape of NPs and b) the spatial arrangement of NPs. The article focuses on examples where the peptides are directly involved in the bottom-up synthesis of the noble metal NPs.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, peptides have expanded the toolbox of additives for the preparation of noble metal nanoparticles. Their functional and structural modularity and accompanying molecular recognition and self-assembly properties offer unique opportunities for the controlled formation of NPs. Within this review, we highlight recent examples for the use of peptides to control a) the size and shape of NPs and b) the spatial arrangement of NPs. The article focuses on examples where the peptides are directly involved in the bottom-up synthesis of the noble metal NPs.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
