Bottom-up assembly of hydrogels from bacteriophage and Au nanoparticles: the effect of cis- and trans-acting factors.

Bottom-up assembly of hydrogels from bacteriophage and Au nanoparticles: the effect of cis- and trans-acting factors.

Hydrogels have become a promising research focus because of their potential for biomedical application. Here we explore the long-range, electrostatic interactions by following the effect of trans-acting (pH) and cis-acting factors (peptide mutation) on the formation of Au-phage hydrogels. These bioi...
