Abstract

Here we report on the formation of hybrid organic-metal composites via the incorporation of selected amino acids into the crystal lattice of single crystals of gold. We used electron microscopy, chemical analysis, and high resolution synchrotron powder XRD to examine these composites. Crystal shape, as well as atomic concentrations of occluded amino acids and their impact on the crystal structure of gold, were determined.
