Biomimetically crystallized protease resistant zinc phosphate decorated with gold atomic clusters for bioimaging

Abstract

A luminescent probe synthesised via biomimetic crystallization of zinc phosphate in the presence of protein fragment stabilised gold (Au) nanoclusters is reported. The engineered probe – with Au nanoclusters assembled on the crystal – was protease resistant and offered efficient bioimaging and uptake studies.
