Redox reactions were utilized to deposit periodically arranged Ag and Au nanostructures within the solvent channels of cross‐linked lysozyme crystals (see picture for Ag‐doped lysozyme crystals). The ability to crystallize lysozyme in various polymorphic forms provides an opportunity to tailor the architecture of the metalized nanostructures through judicious choice of the protein lattice.
