Design and site-directed compartmentalization of gold nanoclusters within the intrasubunit interfaces of ferritin nanocage

Abstract Background Protein nanocages have emerged as popular nanocarriers for either drug delivery or biotemplates for the preparation of nanomaterials. However, only three interfaces, namely exterior surface, intersubunit and inner cavity, have been used as reaction sites for the above purposes wi...
