Strategy for the Assembly of Carbon Nanotube–Metal Nanoparticle Hybrids Using Biointerfaces

Gold-plated: Single-wall carbon nanotube–gold nanoparticle (SWNT-AuNP) hybrids are assembled using a combination of nucleic acid (DNA) and a small peptide to drive the self-assembly process. The functionalization of SWNTs with AuNP is efficient and reversible. These SWNT-AuNP hybrids could be potentially used in sensing applications.
