Fluorescent metal nanoclusters have generated considerable excitement in nanobiotechnology, particularly in the applications of biolabeling, targeted delivery, and biological sensing. The present work is an experimental and computational study that aims to understand the effects of protein environment on the synthesis and electronic properties of gold nanoclusters. MPT63, a drug target of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>, was used as the template protein to synthesize, for the first time, gold nanoclusters at a low micromolar concentration of the protein. Two single cysteine mutants of MPT63, namely, MPT63Gly20Cys (mutant I) and MPT63Gly40Cys (mutant II) were employed for this study. The experimental results show that cysteine residues pos...
