Abstract
Triangular Au nanoplates (TrAuNPls) possessing strong plasmonic properties can be used as photothermal agents in cancer therapy. However, the controlled preparation of such morphologies typically requires harsh synthetic conditions. Biomolecules offer an alternative route to developing biocompatible synthetic protocols. In particular, peptides offer a novel route for inorganic synthesis under ambient conditions. Herein, using the previously isolated peptide, ASHQWAWKWE, for Au nanoparticle (AuNP) synthesis, the conditions for preparing TrAuNPls via a one-pot synthetic process of mixing HAuCl4 and peptides at room temperature were investigated to effectively obtain particles possessing near-infrared absorbance for non-invasive optical diagnosis and phototherapy. By adjusting the peptide concentration, the size and property of TrAuNPls were controlled under neutral pH conditions. The synthesised particles showed potential as photothermal therapeutic agents in vitro. In addition, peptide characterisation using B3 derivatives revealed the importance of the third amino acid histidine in morphological regulation and potential circular Au nanoplates (AuNPl) synthesis with ASEQWAWKWE and ASAQWAWKWE peptides. These findings provide not only an easy and green synthetic method for TrAuNPls and circular AuNPls, but also some insight to help elucidate the regulation of peptide-based nanoparticle synthesis for use in cancer therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biological molecules have received increasing attention as a vehicle to synthesise inorganic materials with specific properties under ambient conditions; particularly, short peptides have the potential to control the synthesis of nanoscale materials with tailored functions. Here, the application of a previously isolated peptide was assessed in synthesising Au nanoparticles containing decahedral and triangular nanoplates with near-infrared absorbance. The size and absorbance peaks of the triangular nanoplates observed were peptide concentration-dependent. In addition, these fine-tuned triangular nanoplates exhibited potential as a phototherapeutic agent. Moreover, the peptide derivatives indicated the possibility of synthesising circular nanoplates. These findings may offer insight into development of new techniques for synthesising functional nanoparticles having biological applications using non-toxic molecules under mild conditions stituted in the original B3 peptide is underlined.

Abstract
Based on inorganic material production through biomineralization in organisms, the use of biological molecules in nanomaterial production has received increasing attention as a vehicle to synthesize inorganic materials with selected properties in ambient conditions. Among various biological molecules that interact with metallic surfaces, short peptides are putative ligand molecules as they exhibit potential to control the synthesis of nanoscale materials with tailored functions. Herein, using a spot synthesis-based peptide array, the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) binding activities of approximately 1800 peptides were evaluated and revealed various activities ranging from positive (high-affinity binding peptides) to negative (weak- or null-affinity binding peptides). Among 50 peptides showing the highest AuNP binding activity, 46 sequences showed the presence of tryptophan-based motifs including W[Xn]W, H[Xn]W, and W[Xn]H (W: tryptophan, X: any amino acid, n: 1-8 amino acid residues), whereas none of these motifs was found in the WORST50 peptides. Notably, three peptides showing the highest binding affinities possessed bi-functionality in AuNP binding and Au(III) reduction in solution and on solid surfaces. In addition, the characterization of truncated peptide derivatives revealed unique peptide motifs for their function expressions that also supported the importance of tryptophan-based motifs for peptide-AuNP binding. These findings open the door for peptide-mediated precise regulation of AuNP synthesis in ambient condition and for site dependent controlled AuNP integration onto nanotechnological devices. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The development of a technique for functionally regulated nanosized material production in ambient condition is broadly required according to the expansion of nanomaterial based applications. Short peptides, which bind to metallic surfaces, have great potential for the technique development, but the realization remains a difficult challenge due to the lack of metal binding peptide varieties. Herein, approximately 1800 peptides with the gold nanoparticle (AuNP) binding activity are reported and characterized. Furthermore, by three highest binding peptides, the expression of bi-functionality in AuNP binding and Au(III) reduction was serendipitously discovered in solution and on solid surfaces. These findings will be attributed to new technique development of functional nanoparticle synthesis in mild condition, and for site-dependent AuNP integration in various nanotechnological devices.

Abstract
Abstract
Although biological synthesis methods for the production of gold structures by microorganisms, plant extracts, proteins, and peptide have recently been introduced, there have been few reports pertaining to controlling their size and morphology. The gold ion and peptide concentrations affected on the size and uniformity of gold plates by a gold-binding peptide Midas-11. The higher concentration of gold ions produced a larger size of gold structures reached 125.5 μm, but an increased amount of Midas-11 produced a smaller size of gold platelets and increased the yield percentage of polygonal gold particles rather than platelets. The mechanisms governing factors controlling the production of gold structures were primarily related to nucleation and growth. These results indicate that the synthesis of gold architectures can be controlled by newly isolated and substituted peptides under different reaction conditions.

Abstract
Pseudomonas moraviensis stanleyae was recently isolated from the roots of the selenium (Se) hyperaccumulator plant Stanleya pinnata. This bacterium tolerates normally lethal concentrations of SeO3(2-) in liquid culture, where it also produces Se nanoparticles. Structure and cellular ultrastructure of the Se nanoparticles as determined by cellular electron tomography shows the nanoparticles as intracellular, of narrow dispersity, symmetrically irregular and without any observable membrane or structured protein shell. Protein mass spectrometry of a fractionated soluble cytosolic material with selenite reducing capability identified nitrite reductase and glutathione reductase homologues as NADPH dependent candidate enzymes for the reduction of selenite to zerovalent Se nanoparticles. In vitro experiments with commercially sourced glutathione reductase revealed that the enzyme can reduce SeO3(2-) (selenite) to Se nanoparticles in an NADPH-dependent process. The disappearance of the enzyme as determined by protein assay during nanoparticle formation suggests that glutathione reductase is associated with or possibly entombed in the nanoparticles whose formation it catalyzes. Chemically dissolving the nanoparticles releases the enzyme. The size of the nanoparticles varies with SeO3(2-) concentration, varying in size form 5 nm diameter when formed at 1.0 μM [SeO3(2-)] to 50 nm maximum diameter when formed at 100 μM [SeO3(2-)]. In aggregate, we suggest that glutathione reductase possesses the key attributes of a clonable nanoparticle system: ion reduction, nanoparticle retention and size control of the nanoparticle at the enzyme site.

Abstract
Engineering peptides that present selective recognition and high affinity for a material is a major challenge for assembly-driven elaboration of complex systems with wide applications in the field of biomaterials, hard-tissue regeneration, and functional materials for therapeutics. Peptide-material interactions are of vital importance in natural processes but less exploited for the design of novel systems for practical applications because of our poor understanding of mechanisms underlying these interactions. Here, we present an approach based on the synthesis of several truncated peptides issued from a silicon-specific peptide recovered via phage display technology. We use the photonic response provided by porous silicon microcavities to evaluate the binding efficiency of 14 different peptide derivatives. We identify and engineer a short peptide sequence (SLVSHMQT), revealing the highest affinity for p(+)-Si. The molecular recognition behavior of the obtained peptide fragment can be revealed through mutations allowing identification of the preferential affinity of certain amino acids toward silicon. These results constitute an advance in both the engineering of peptides that reveal recognition properties for silicon and the understanding of biomolecule-material interactions.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles with anisotropic structures have tunable absorption properties and diverse bioapplications as image contrast agents, plasmonics, and therapeutic-diagnostic materials. Amino acids with electrostatically charged side chains possess inner affinity for metal ions. Lysine (Lys) efficiently controlled the growing into star-shape nanoparticles with controlled narrow sizes (30-100 nm) and produced in high yields (85-95%). Anisotropic nanostructures showed tunable absorbance from UV to NIR range, with extraordinary colloidal stability (-26 to -42 mV) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties. Advanced electron microscopy characterization through ultra-high-resolution SEM, STEM, and HR-TEM confirmed the size, nanostructure, crystalline structure, and chemical composition. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that Lys interacted preferentially with Au(I) through the -COOH group instead of their positive side chains with a binding free energy (BFE) of 3.4 kcal mol(-1). These highly monodisperse and colloidal stable anisotropic particles prepared with biocompatible compounds may be employed in biomedical applications.

Abstract
The stability of gold nanoparticles is a major issue which decides their impending usage in nanobiotechnological applications. Often biomimetically synthesized nanoparticles are deemed useless owing to their instability in aqueous medium. So, surfactants are used to stabilize the nanoparticles. But does the surfactant only stabilize by being adsorbed to the surface of the nanoparticles and not play significantly in moulding the size and shape of the nanoparticles? Keeping this idea in mind, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) synthesized by l-tryptophan (Trp) mediated reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) were stabilized by anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), and its effect on the moulding of size and properties of the GNPs was studied. Interestingly, unlike most of the gold nanoparticles synthesis mechanism showing saturation growth mechanism, inclusion of SDS in the reaction mixture for GNPs synthesis resulted in a bimodal mechanism which was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The mechanism was further substantiated with transmission electron microscopy. Zeta potential of GNPs solutions was measured to corroborate stability observations recorded visually.

Abstract
Nanobiotechnology, bionanotechnology, and nanobiology are terms that have emerged in reference to the combination of nanotechnology and biology. Through the convergence of these disciplines, the production of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) using biological material as reducing agents is rapidly progressing. In the near future, the application of clean, non-toxic, and eco-friendly nanostructured material will be possible in industry and/or biomedicine. Currently, there is a wide range of organisms that have been reported to be useful in producing NPs. However, the development of finer protocols and the applicability of biosynthesized nanostructures are presently under study. Silver and gold are among the most studied metals due to their potential use in medical treatment. In fact, silver NPs have been evaluated as antimicrobial agents, having been successfully used against several types of fungi and bacteria. However, the use of such material in our daily life must be carefully evaluated. This article summarizes some of the most significant results using organisms to produce metallic NPs as well as the microscopic analyses used to characterize the nanostructured material obtained, providing a valuable database for future research.

Abstract
The synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials and nanostructures by the means of diverse physical, chemical, and biological principles has been developed in recent decades. The nanoscale materials and structures creation continue to be an active area of researches due to the exciting properties of the resulting nanomaterials and their innovative applications. Despite physical and chemical approaches which have been used for a long time to produce nanomaterials, biological resources as green candidates that can replace old production methods have been focused in recent years to generate various inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) or other nanoscale structures. Cost-effective, eco-friendly, energy efficient, and nontoxic produced nanomaterials using diverse biological entities have been received increasing attention in the last two decades in contrast to physical and chemical methods owe using toxic solvents, generate unwanted by-products, and high energy consumption which restrict the popularity of these ways employed in nanometric science and engineering. In this review, the biosynthesis of gold, silver, gold-silver alloy, magnetic, semiconductor nanocrystals, silica, zirconia, titania, palladium, bismuth, selenium, antimony sulfide, and platinum NPs, using bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, yeasts, plant extracts and also informational bio-macromolecules including proteins, polypeptides, DNA, and RNA have been reported extensively to mention the current status of the biological inorganic nanomaterial production. In other hand, two well-known wet chemical techniques, namely chemical reduction and sol-gel methods, used to produce various types of nanocrystalline powders, metal oxides, and hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterials have presented.

Abstract
A promising avenue of research in materials science is to follow the strategies used by Mother Nature to fabricate ornate hierarchical structures as exemplified by organisms such as diatoms, sponges and magnetotactic bacteria. Some of the strategies used in the biological world to create functional inorganic materials may well have practical implications in the world of nanomaterials. Therefore, the strive towards exploring nature's ingenious work for designing strategies to create inorganic nanomaterials in our laboratories has led to development of biological and biomimetic synthesis routes over the past decade or so. A large proportion of these relentless efforts have explored the use of those microorganisms, which are typically not known to encounter these inorganic materials in their natural environment. Therefore, one can consider these microorganisms as 'unusual' for the purpose for which they have been utilized - it is in this context that this review has been penned down. In this extensive review, we discuss the use of these 'unusual' microorganisms for deliberate biosynthesis of various nanomaterials including biominerals, metals, sulfides and oxides nanoparticles. In addition to biosynthesis approach, we have also discussed a bioleaching approach, which can provide a noble platform for room-temperature synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials using naturally available raw materials. Moreover, the unique properties and functionalities displayed by these biogenic inorganic materials have been discussed, wherever such properties have been investigated previously. Finally, towards the end of this review, we have made efforts to summarize the common outcomes of the biosynthesis process and draw conclusions, which provide a perspective on the current status of the biosynthesis research field and highlights areas where future research in this field should be directed to realize the full potential of biological routes towards nanomaterials synthesis. Furthermore, the review clearly demonstrates that the biological route to inorganic materials synthesis is not merely an addition to the existing list of synthesis routes; biological routes using 'unusual' microorganisms might in fact provide an edge over other nanomaterials synthesis routes in terms of their eco-friendliness, low energy intensiveness, and economically-viable synthesis. This review has significant importance for colloids and interface science since it underpins the synthesis of colloidal materials using 'unusual' microorganism, wherein the role of biological interfaces for controlled synthesis of technologically important nanomaterials is clearly evident.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in using serum albumin, the most abundant plasma protein, as a stabilizing agent in the context of nanomedicine. Using poly(vinyl amine)-stabilized polypyrrole nanoparticles as an example, we report a facile generic route to prepare serum albumin-nanoparticle conjugates via heterocoagulation. Time-resolved dynamic light scattering (DLS), disk centrifuge photosedimentometry (DCP), and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy studies confirm that bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbs rapidly onto the cationic poly(vinyl amine)-stabilized polypyrrole nanoparticles and suggest that the initial well-defined protein coronal is subsequently cross-linked via thiol-disulfide exchange. These BSA-nanoparticle conjugates were further characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), aqueous electrophoresis, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). They exhibit excellent long-term colloidal stability under physiological conditions without further purification, suggesting strong irreversible adsorption by the BSA. Protein adsorption appears to be co-operative and both thermodynamic and mechanistic aspects were examined via aqueous electrophoresis, DCP, and DLS studies.

Abstract
We present a molecular dynamics study of the binding process of peptide A3 (AYSSGAPPMPPF) and other similar peptides onto gold surfaces, and identify the functions of many amino acids. Our results provide a clear picture of the separate regimes present in the binding process: diffusion, anchoring, crawling and binding. Moreover, we explored the roles of individual residues. We found that tyrosine, methionine, and phenylalanine are strong binding residues; serine serves as an effective anchoring residue; proline acts as a dynamic anchoring point, while glycine and alanine give flexibility to the peptide backbone. We then show that our findings apply to unrelated phage-derived sequences that have been reported recently to facilitate AuNP synthesis. This new knowledge may aid in the design of new peptides for the synthesis of gold nanostructures with novel morphologies.

Abstract
While several biological processes have been shown to be useful for the production of well-designed, inorganic nanostructures, the mechanism(s) controlling the size and shape of nano and micron size particles remains elusive. Here we report on the controlled size- and shape-specific production of gold nanostructures under ambient reaction conditions using a dodecapeptide, Midas-2, originally selected from a phage-displayed combinatorial peptide library. Single amino acid changes in Midas-2 greatly influence the size (a few nanometers to approximately 100 microm) and shape (nanoparticles, nanoribbons, nanowires and nanoplatelets) of the gold nanostructures produced, and these are controllable by adjusting the solution pH and gold ion concentration. The ability to control the shape and size of the gold nanostructures by changing the peptide structure and reaction conditions will lead to many potential applications, including nanoelectronics, sensors and optoelectronics, because of their unique size- and shape-dependent optical and electrical properties.

Abstract
In the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis, modified peptides called silaffin polypeptides are responsible for silica deposition in vivo at ambient conditions. Recently, it was discovered that the synthetic R5 peptide, the repeat unit of silaffin polypeptide without post-translational modification, was capable of precipitating silica in vitro and at ambient conditions. Herein, chimeric proteins were generated by incorporating synthetic silaffin R5 peptides and related unmodified silaffin domains (R1-R7) from Cylindrotheca fusiformis onto green fluorescent protein (GFP) by recombinant DNA technology and their ability to cause silicification was also examined. GFP chimeric proteins showed silicification at very low concentrations (600-700 microg/mL) when compared with adding excess amounts of R5 peptides (10 mg/mL) as previously reported. Sensitive to pH conditions, only the GFP-R1 chimera showed silicification activity at pH 8.0. The protein immobilization efficiencies of these chimeras were unexpectedly high ranging from 75 to 85%, with the R1 silaffin-protein construct showing excellent immobilization efficiency and a constant molar ratio of silica to protein ranging from 250 to 350 over a wide pH range. The average silica particle sizes had a tendency to decrease as pH increased to basic conditions. This study demonstrated the production of nanoscale immobilized protein, fabricated via silaffin-fused proteins.

Abstract
Amphiphilicity and cationicity are properties shared between antimicrobial peptides and proteins that catalyze biomineralization reactions. Merging these two functionalities, we demonstrate a reaction where a cationic antimicrobial peptide catalyzes self-biomineralization within inorganic matrices. The resultant antimicrobial peptide nanoparticles retain biocidal activity, protect the peptide from proteolytic degradation, and facilitate a continuous release of the antibiotic over time. Taken together, these properties demonstrate the therapeutic potential of self-synthesizing biomaterials that retain the biocidal properties of antimicrobial peptides.
