Abstract
Shape control of metal nanocrystals with engineered proteins is promising for integrated plasmonics, biosensing, and catalysis applications. We present artificial thermo-stable proteins used as inhibitors during gold nanocrystal growth in order to control the shape and crystallographic facet expression. This synthesis leads to (111)-terminated gold nanocrystals in high yield. The shape and size distribution are tuned towards nanoplates by adjusting synthetic conditions. When biotinylated alpha-Reps are used, the morphosynthetic properties are preserved and streptavidin sensing is observed through a marked 7-nm redshift in dark-field spectra. Single nanoplate streptavidin sensing experiments show high sensitivity (300 nm/RIU).
