| Abstract: | Nucleation of protein crystals by gold nanoparticles was observed. Lysozyme and ferritin were used as model proteins. The effect was established with uncoated gold nanoparticles and with gold nanoparticles coated by 16‐mercaptodecanoic acid. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
