The chaperonin thermosome (THS) is a protein cage that lacks binding sites for metal ions and inorganic nanoparticles. However, when poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) is encapsulated into THS, gold nanoparticles (AuNP) can be prepared in the THS. The polymer binds HAuCl4. Subsequent reduction yields nanoparticles with narrow size distribution in the protein-polymer conjugate.
伴侣蛋白热体(THS)是一种缺乏金属离子和无机纳米颗粒结合位点的蛋白质笼。然而,当聚(酰胺胺)(PAMAM)被封装到THS中时,可以在THS中制备金纳米颗粒(AuNP)。该聚合物结合四氯合金酸(HAuCl4)。随后的还原反应会在蛋白质-聚合物共轭物中产生尺寸分布狭窄的纳米颗粒。
