Stabilization of -chymotrypsin at air–water interface through surface binding to gold nanoparticle scaffolds

Brian J. Jordan, Rui Hong, Basar Gider, Jason Hill, Todd Emrick and Vincent M. Rotello

Gold nanoparticles stabilize chymotrypsin (ChT) against denaturation at the air–water interface through catenation and preferential localization of the nanoparticles at the air–water interface with concomitant decrease in interfacial energy.
