How to find out the structure for silver nano particles bio synthesized by green synthesis method, if there is no molecular structure of silver nano particle is it possible to build a cubical structure by the FCC crystal structure obtained by X Ray diffraction studies and molecular dock it against cancer,Kindly let me know the possibilities and send me research articles related to the above.
optical or electron microscopies for example are commonly used for that

I also found these articles, hope they help:

Generally the method SAED (selected area electron diffraction) is used in order to find out the crystal structure of SNP synthsised using extract. Faint peaks are observed if a thin film of the SNP is made on a glass slide and low angle XRD is performed. The results of SAED is more acceptanle in case of journals for publication.
