Integration of a Self-Assembling Protein Scaffold with Water-Soluble Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

摘要

Self-assembling proteins offer exciting opportunities as scaffolds that can position functional components with nanometer resolution.In particular,this concept has been demonstrated through the use of viral capsids to template the growth of inorganic materials and to orient numerous molecular building blocks with well-defined spatial relationships.For device integration,a crucial next step is the development of strategies to interface these components with electronic materials.
