Biocompatible magnetic nanocomposites of Fe-AuNPs and poly(2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) were employed as a strategic protein immobilization platform. The hybrid magnetic nanocomposites were prepared by applying a 'grafting to' ATRP protocol. Fe-AuNPs having Fe core and Au shell were initially prepared
