| Zusammenfassung: | © 2022 The Authors. Published by American Chemical Society. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have become one of the most promising nanomaterials for biomedical applications because of their biocompatibility and physicochemical properties. This study demonstrates the use of protein engineering as a novel approach to design scaffolds for the tunable synthesis of ultrasmall IONPs. Rationally designed proteins, containing different number of metal-coordination sites, were evaluated to control the size and the physicochemical and magnetic properties of a set of protein-stabilized IONPs (Prot-IONPs). Prot-IONPs, synthesized through an optimized coprecipitation approach, presented good T1 and T2 relaxivity values, stability, and biocompatibility, showing potential for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications |
