The silver ions were reduced in the presence of nitrate reductase, leading to the formation of a stable silver hydrosol 10-25 nm diam. and stabilized by the capping peptide. The nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-Vis absorption. These studies will help in designing a rational enzymatic strategy for the synthesis of nanomaterials of different chemical composition, shapes and sizes as well as their separation.</p>10aCapping Peptide10aenzymatic method10anitrate reductase10asilver nanoparticles1 aKumar, Anil1 aAbyaneh, Majid, Kazemian1 aGosavi, S., W.1 aKulkarni, Sulabha, K.1 aPasricha, Renu1 aAhmad, Absar1 aKhan, Mohammad, Islam  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/nitrate-reductase-mediated-synthesis-silver-nanoparticles-agno3
