This Minireview systematically examines optical properties of silver nanoparticles as a function of size. Extinction, scattering, and absorption cross-sections and distance dependence of the local electromagnetic field, as well as the quadrupolar coupling of 2D assemblies of such particles are experimentally measured for a wide range of particle sizes. Such measurements were possible because of the development of a novel synthetic method for the size-controlled synthesis of chemically clean, highly crystalline silver nanoparticles of narrow size distribution. The method and its unique advantages are compared to other methods for synthesis of metal nanoparticles. Synthesis and properties of nanocomposite materials using these and other nanoparticles are also described. Important highlights in the history of the field of metal nanoparticles as well as an examination of the basic principles of plasmon resonances are included.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the main mineral component of teeth. It is well-known that several salivary proteins and peptides bind strongly to HAP to regulate crystal growth. Interactions between a peptide derived from the N-terminal fragment of the salivary protein statherin and HAP were measured utilizing rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The REDOR measurement from the side chain of the salivary peptide to the HAP surface is complicated by two effects: a possible additional dipolar coupling to a phosphorylated side chain and the potential proximity of phosphorus atoms to each other, resulting in a homonuclear dipolar interaction. Both of these effects were addressed, and the smallest model applicable to our system includes the nitrogen-15 (15N) spin in the lysine side chain and two phosphorus-31 (31P) spins, at least one of which must be from the surface phosphates of the HAP.
