Protein-Mediated Bimetallic Nanoclusters: Effect of Protein Nature on Structure, Optical Property and Cytotoxicity
Bimetallic nanoclusters (NCs) containing gold and silver were prepared by template-assisted synthesis using human serum albumin (HSA) via a newly optimized fabrication route at 25 °C. Additionally, following this procedure, we also reproducibly synthesized further Au/Ag NCs, containing a similar Au:Ag ratio, using bovi...
