Abstract
Micro construction sites: Engineered peptides and ligand-functionalized gold nanoparticles have been assembled into micrometer-scale 3D cube-shaped crystals (see picture), creating a physical framework for a biomimetic assembly strategy. The NPs join the peptide nanowires through streptavidin-biotin interactions to create cubic unit cells.
