Abstract
Homogeneous magnetic nanoparticles can be synthesised within the constrained volume architecture of Listeria innocua (see Figure). This ferritin-like protein cage provides a limited reaction environment for the synthesis of 5 nm diameter ferrimagnetic iron oxide maghemite nanoparticles. The results suggest a new general synthesis route for nanomaterials, utilizing the inherent host–guest properties of protein cage architectures.
