The challenge of synthesizing noble metal nanostructures sustainably has encouraged researchers to explore biological routes for nanostructure production, such as biotemplating. Plant viruses with rod-shape morphology, such as tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), offer promising biotemplates to produce metal nanorods. TMV and BSMV can be incubated in aqueous metal precursor solutions to mineralize metals on the coat proteins (CPs) of the viruses. Previous studies have primarily examined palladium (Pd) mineralization on TMV and BSMV using Na
