The formation of fiber-like colloidal particles of the amino acid lysine complexed with Keggin ions is demonstrated. The lysine-phosphotungstic acid (PTA) colloidal particles act as excellent templates for the synthesis and assembly of gold nanoparticles wherein the lysine-PTA complex acts as a UV-switchable reducing agent for gold ions. This novel bio-organic-inorganic template shows excellent potential as a regulated nanoreactor for application in programmed nanoparticle synthesis and assembly in a single step.
