Abstract in brief
A de novo protein called ConK, designed from novel amino acid sequences, can catalyze the formation of semiconductor quantum dots by converting cysteine into sulfur, which then helps form CdS nanocrystals.
The CdS nanocrystals produced with ConK are about 3nm in size, have properties similar to chemically made quantum dots, and grow more slowly and differently than those from natural proteins, leading to more stable and phase-pure (zinc blende) nanocrystals.
This research suggests that using engineered proteins like ConK can improve the synthesis of high-quality quantum dots at room temperature, overcoming limitations of natural biomineralization in producing stable and pure nanocrystals.]
