- Title
Researchers Image Tiny Peptides on Nanoparticle Surface.
- Abstract
The article presents information on a technique developed by researchers from England to examine small peptides on the surface of a gold nanoparticle. It is noted that the new method could lead to new ways of designing and manufacturing materials on the tiniest scale. The initiative is financed by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) of Great Britain. A chemistry-based approach and computer modeling were used by the scientists to determine the distance between the peptides where they sit assembled on the gold nanoparticle.
