Ornamentation of Triskelion Peptide Nanotori to Produce Gold Nanoparticle (AuNP)-Embedded Peptide Nanobangles.

We report the formation of gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-biotinylated triskelion peptide hybrid nanostructures. These structures were created by using self-organization and mimicking strategies to develop AuNP-ornamented peptide nanobangles with predetermined properties on biocompatible surfaces. Such intelligent and fascinating nanomaterials can be used for several bio-nanotechnological applications.
