Protein-induced reduction and decoration of GO for the assembly of multiple nanoparticles. (A) General scheme depicting the BSA protein-based decoration and reduction of GO, leading to a general nanoplatform for nanoparticle assembly. (B) TEM images of AuNP decorated BSA–GO with well-controlled densities of AuNPs. (B and C) AuNP densities were varied by increasing the concentrations of BSA from 0.5 mg/mL (B) to 20 mg/mL (C), during the preparation of BSA–GO. NaCl was omitted for the samples in (B) and (C). (D) AuNP density was further increased (in comparison with (C)) by adding 0.1 M NaCl to the assembly system as in (C). Reprinted with permission from ref 102. Copyright 2010 American Chemical Society.
