(a) Structure of a mixed monolayer-protected AuNP featuring pentanethiol (C5) and diaminohexane (DAH) terminated thiol ligand. The DAH moiety on the NP surface is a recognition unit for complexation with CB[7]. (b) Schematic of the protein-NP interactions in the absence and presence of the guest molecules CB[7].
