Modification with hemeproteins increases the diffusive movement of nanorods in dilute hydrogen peroxide solutions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 9;49(78):8803-5. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44614j.

Abstract

Nanorods were decorated with different hemeproteins that are able to convert hydrogen peroxide. When dispersed into hydrogen peroxide solutions, most of these nanorods are characterized by diffusion coefficients which increase with the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Such a behaviour does not characterize unmodified nanorods.
