Artificial antibody created by conformational reconstruction of the complementary-determining region on gold nanoparticles [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

To impart biomedical functions to nanoparticles (NPs), the common approach is to conjugate functional groups onto NPs by dint of the functions of those groups per se. It is still beyond current reach to create protein-like specific interactions and functions on NPs by conformational engineering of nonfunctional groups on NPs....
