Abstract EN
The synthesis of nanostructured materials, especially metallic nanoparticles, has accrued utmost interest over the past decade owing to their unique properties that make them applicable in different fields of science and technology.
The limitation to the use of these nanoparticles is the paucity of an effective method of synthesis that will produce homogeneous size and shape nanoparticles as well as particles with limited or no toxicity to the human health and the environment.
The biological method of nanoparticle synthesis is a relatively simple, cheap, and environmentally friendly method than the conventional chemical method of synthesis and thus gains an upper hand.
The biomineralization of nanoparticles in protein cages is one of such biological approaches used in the generation of nanoparticles.
This method of synthesis apart from being a safer method in the production of nanoparticles is also able to control particle morphology.
