Scheme 1

Schematic illustration of metal NPs–protein bioconjugate formation. (A) Strategy 1: apoferritin protein amyloid fibrils (APO) and β-lactoglobulin (BLG) protein fibrils assemble different metal nanoparticles (NPs): AuNSs, AuNRs and magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs). (B) Strategy 2: metal-binding APO fibril precursors are used for the in situ synthesis of NPs.
