We have succeeded in in situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the interior surfaces of red blood cell ghosts (RBCGs) with a cytoskeleton chemically conjugated to a gold-binding peptide. The Au NP-deposited RBCG with the peptide exhibits enhanced catalytic reactivity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol due to the uniform distribution of the Au NPs on the inner surface and the coverage of the Au NPs surface with the peptide.
