One-dimensional (1D) hybrid nanofibers with surface-deposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been fabricated by self-assembly of rod-like tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) with mussel-inspired polymerization of dopamine and in situ reduction of gold ion, providing a method for sensing the endocytic pathway of nanomaterial.
