DESCRIPTION
A new method of selectively binding proteins to nanoparticles has been described by a team of German and Chinese researchers headed by Prof. Bart Jan Ravoo, a chemist at the "Center for Soft Nanoscience" at the University of Münster, Germany. The nanoparticles automatically recognize small proteins and enter into highly selective binding with them.
