Those simulations provide the standards against which new experimental or analytical methods should be compared [28

Therefore, the enzymatically grown silver nanoparticles were investigated by employing different microscopic techniques, namely scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), together with analytical methods, namely Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and
