	abstract = {<p>To understand the origin of catalysis by gold and to probe the role of defects and interfaces, benchmark reactions namely CO oxidation and benzyl alcohol oxidation were carried out on supported trisoctahedral gold nanoparticles and on the inverse catalyst system. The sizes of these particles which are between 45 nm and 110 nm, are well beyond the quantum size regime and well above the optimum size range where gold is considered to be catalytically active. The periodic steps sites in contact with oxide support interface were able to promote the reaction. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
