Composite nanoparticles consisting of gold and iron-oxide were radiochemically synthesized in aqueous solution systems by using polyethylene glycols. The gold particles with average diameter of 3 nm were firmly immobilized on the surface of the support iron-oxide nanoparticles. The composite nanoparticles specifically adsorbed sulfur-containing amino acids by a Au-S bonding.
