摘要

It is established that the polysaccharide glucuronoxylomannan decorated with gold nanoparticles significantly changes the spatial structuring depending on pH and temperature. A mechanism of the biopolymer conformation effect on the formation process and properties of a hybrid material is proposed. The most stable structures are formed in an alkaline medium, however, they also retain the possibility of adaptive behavior of an initial biomolecule. It has been demonstrated that biological macromolecules can be applied to form “smart” molecular hybrids with the ability to switch properties in response to external stimuli.
