Nanometer light source : Interaction between high‐affinity binding sites on lipid‐coated nanocrystals (NCs) and different proteins enables the controlled formation of supramolecular nanostructures on micropatterned surfaces (see picture; FRET=fluorescence resonant energy transfer, NTA=nitrilotriacetic acid, His 6 =hexahistidine). The NCs serve as local light sources emitting light over distances from 1 to more than 10 nm.
