Abstract:
Go for the gold! The structural evolution of peptide binding and assembly on a Au(111) surface is dynamic and involves surface diffusion and multiple stages of molecular thin‐film topology development (see schematic depiction and corresponding AFM images). The new fundamental observations may form the basis of peptide‐based novel hybrid molecular technologies of the future.
