Fabrication of gold nanoparticles on biotin-di-tryptophan scaffold for plausible biomedical applications

Abstract

This study probes the beneficial role of biotinylated di-tryptophan for the synthesis and stabilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and concurrently these AuNPs were scattered inside the biotinylated spherical scaffold in a controlled manner. Such AuNP peptide devices showed the effect of plasmonic heating and can be used for the plausible biomedical applications as theranostic agents.
