Surface Assembly: Thiolated Lysine‐Leucine Peptides Self‐Assemble into Biosilica Nucleation Pits on Gold Surfaces (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 16/2017)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 1700399, Hao Lu and co-workers describe the growth of biosilica nanoparticles within a surface network of peptides. The peptides are designed to form silica nucleation pits by self-assembly on gold surfaces. The image illustrates silica growth within lysine-lined cavities in the film. Silica first nucleates and then grows beyond the nucleation site, which resembles the raising of muffins in a tin.
