| Protein-protein recognition is a key aspect of many complex cellular functions, however controlling protein recognition is challenging due to the difficulty of designing molecules that selectively bind to the surface of a target protein. Nanoparticles are commensurate in size with proteins, biocompatible, and possess surfaces that are easily imparted with functional groups through surface protection strategies. We report on the use of mixed-monolayer protected Au –nanoparticles as inhibitors of the protein-protein recognition between cytochrome c peroxidase and cytochrome c. |
