Abstract

Gold-plated gold: NAD(P)H cofactors mediate the catalytic growth of Au nano-particles in the presence of AuC4- and CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide; see picture). The process allows for the optical detection of the cofactors and the analysis of NAD(P) +-dependent biocatalyzed transformations in solutions and on surfaces.
