Assembly of Nanomaterials Through Hybrid Conjugation with Ordered Self-Assembled Monolayers and Proteins

摘要

Proteins initiate, catalyze, and mediate the fabrication of nano-and micro-structures, which are then assembled into complex architectures necessary for specific biological functions. Biomimetic systems could include proteins to control not only the synthesis but also the spatial distribution of inorganic materials into functional assemblies with useful electrical and optical properties.
