Green synthesis and fabrication of an electrochemical and colorimetric sensor based on self-assembled peptide-Au nanofibril architecture

Owing to the excellent self-assembly properties and chemical flexibility, amyloid peptide were employed to build multifunctional architectures. Herein, we demonstrated the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in assistant of a sequence-designed peptide. As both surface ligands and self-assemb...
