Bioconjugates Containing Ferritin and Metal Nanoparticles

Abstract:

Novel assemblies of gold nanoparticles or gold nanoparticles with other inorganic nanoparticles have received considerable interest due to their fascinating properties desired for various detection applications. Here we present a bioconjugate containing ferritin and gold nanoparticles. In this bioconjugate, there is a central ferritin, and a several gold nanoparticles are located around by DNA base-pairing.
