Gold self‐assembly: Understanding protein adsorption on gold surface bears increasing importance because of surface‐induced changes in conformation and bioactivity. Nanofibril structures of protein fibrinogen (fg) molecules, playing paramount role in blood coagulation, are found self‐assembled on a Au(1,1,1) surface without any addition of thrombin, growing in two orientations (longitude and transverse, see figure).
