Abstract:
Ordered ZnS and CdS nanocrystal assemblies have been synthesized by a facile bioinspired approach consisting of an initial self-assembly of engineered proteins into spherical biotemplates and a subsequent protein-directed nucleation and growth of ZnS and CdS nanocrystals symmetrically distributed over the self-assembled biotemplates.
