Abstract

Abstract : Direct visualization of proteins and the catalytic activity of metal nanoparticles from metal–protein complexes in native polyacrylamide gels. Abstract : The reductive discoloration of azo dye, Congo red, catalyzed by noble metal nanoparticles was used to visualize protein–metal complexes in native polyacrylamide gels after counterstaining with Coomassie blue. This technique was used to characterize the synthesis of palladium, rhodium and iridium nanoparticles encapsulated in Pyrococcus furiosus ferritin.
