Abstract
Different mutants of Cowpea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) have been used as scaffolds to bind 2 and 5 nm gold nanoparticles through gold−sulfur bond formation at specific locations on the virus to produce patterns of specific interparticle distances. TEM images confirm that the bound gold particles produce patterns of gold nanoparticles that correlate well with models built from the known locations of the inserted cysteine groups on the capsid. These results demonstrate that it is possible to use CPMV mutants as nanoscale scaffolds to place gold nanoparticles at fixed interparticle distances.
