Noble metal catalysts have been widely used in many applications because of their high
activity and selectivity. However, a controllable preparation of noble metal catalysts still …

Traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) suffers from the limitations of
relatively low sensitivity and stability, and enzyme-labelled antibodies are hard to be …

In 2004 we first reported catalytic nanoparticles, that are able to cleave phosphate diesters
with very high efficiency (Angew. Chem. Int Ed, 2004, 43, 6165–6169) and dubbed them …

Gold nanorods are excellent anisotropic building blocks for plasmonic chiral nanostructures.
The near-infrared plasmonic band of nanorods makes them highly desirable for biomedical …

l-cysteine derivatives induce and modulate the optical activity of achiral cadmium selenide
(CdSe) and cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs). Remarkably, N-acetyl-l-cysteine …

The emergence of antibiotic resistance makes the therapeutic effect of traditional antibiotics
far from satisfactory. Here, chiral gold nano-bipyramids (GBPs) with sea cucumber-like …

A peptide (FFACD) can form hydrogels in DMSO-H 2 O mixtures (G1), NaOH (G2) and L-
arginine (G3) aqueous solutions, respectively. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assays …

Peptide-coated nanoparticles are valuable tools for diverse biological applications, such as
drug delivery, molecular recognition, and antimicrobial action. The functionalization of pre …

Noble metal nanostructures with plasmonic circular dichroism (PCD) have attracted interest,
and a modulation of PCD is of great importance for their potential applications. Herein, we …

Herein, we report the synthesis of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) functionalized by peptide
dendron thiolate ligands forming a hydrogen bonding supramolecular reaction field. The …
