ABSTRACT
Conformation of biomolecules like DNA, peptides and amino acids play vital role during nanoparticle growth. Herein, we have experimentally explored the effect of different noncovalent interaction between a 5'-amine modified DNA sequence (NH2 -C6 H12 -5'-ACATCAGT-3', PMR) and arginine during the seed-mediated growth reaction of gold nanorods (GNRs). Amino acid-mediated growth reaction of GNRs results in a snowflake-like gold nanoarchitecture. However, in case of Arg, prior incubation of GNRs with PMR selectively produces sea urchin-like gold suprastructures, via strong hydrogen bonding and cation-π interaction between PMR and Arg. This distinctive structure formation strategy has been extended to study the structural modulation caused by two structurally close α-helical RRR (Ac-(AAAAR)3 A-NH2 ) peptide and the lysine mutated KKR (Ac-AAAAKAAAAKAAAARA-NH2 ) peptide with partial helix at the amino terminus. Simulation studies confirm that a greater number of hydrogen bonding and cation-π interaction between the Arg residues and PMR resulted in the gold sea urchin structure for RRR peptide against KKR peptide.
