We present a novel protein-assisted self-assembly route of small spherical gold or silver NPs (as satellites) with a hydrophilic protein corona onto larger gold NPs (as cores) into three-dimensional nanoassemblies with core/satellite architecture in dispersion. Their interparticular gaps represent hot spots for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection. The highly modular bottom-up fabrication of homo- and heterometallic core/satellite combinations allows for tailored plasmonics. A precise characterization of the morphology in dispersion was achieved using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). By combining the results from SAXS, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and electromagnetic simulations we were able to correlate the structural parameters with the plasmonic coupling within the core/satellite nanoclusters.
