Abstract

Highly oriented proteins with characteristic nanometer dimensions are used as a template for the synthesis and support of metallic nanoparticles. Following a bottom-up approach, noble metal particles in the nanometer size range were obtained by the reduction of the corresponding metal salts in the presence of the protein assemblies. The catalytic activity of the protein-supported particles was determined by hydrogenation reactions.
