Fabrication of magnetic bio-Au nanoclusters by using SlaA-layer ghosts of Sulfolobus acidocaldarius as a template
Selenska-Pobell S., Reitz T., Geissler A., Herrmannsdörfer T., Merroun M., Forschungszentrum Dresden Rossendorf, DE
We demonstrate that the outermost proteinaceous surface layer SlaA of the thermo acidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius is an excellent matrix for preparation of bio-Au nanoclusters. The archaeal bio-Au nanoparticles are significantly bigger and possess considerably [...]
