Three-Dimensional Characterization of Helical Silver Nanochains Mediated by Protein Assemblies

Characterization methods for the structural investigation of biotemplates for nano-devices remain widely unexplored, despite the fact that biotemplating methods for nanodevice fabrication are becoming more widespread. In this study several techniques are used to characterize the morphology and 3D distribution of silver nanoparticles deposited on insulin fibrils.
