Graphical Abstract

Einfach und praktisch ist das hier vorgestellte Verfahren zum direkten Screening von Peptiden, die das Wachstum des Zielmaterials katalysieren. Mit diesem Ansatz wurde ein Peptid identifiziert, das das katalytische Wachstum einkristalliner ZnO-Nanokristalle durch einen nichtklassischen Kristallisationsprozess bei Raumtemperatur auslöst (siehe Bild).
