Bio-templated CdSe nanoparticle synthesis in a cage shaped protein, Listeria-Dps, and their two dimensional ordered array self-assembly

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Dec 14;46(46):8797-9. doi: 10.1039/c0cc03298k. Epub 2010 Oct 19.

Abstract

We report here, for the first time, a biotemplated synthesis of uniform CdSe nanoparticle (4.1 ± 0.5 nm) and a fabrication of two-dimensional CdSe nanoparticles (over one micrometre) with nanometric gaps by cage-like protein, Listeria-Dps.
