Laterally structured hybrid assemblies composed of genetically engineered polypeptides and fused-ring organic molecules were used to guide the assembly of gold nanoparticles in a site-selective fashion (see image). Gold-binding protein was covalently bonded onto a self-assembled monolayer of preformed, π-conjugated thiols on a Au(111) substrate by microcontact printing to produce a 2D template with submicrometer patterns. The assembly of gold nanoparticles occurred through surface recognition.
