摘要

2011 APR 4 - (VerticalNews.com) -- A report, 'Protein-directed assembly ofrnarbitrary three-dimensional nanoporous silica architectures,' is newly published data in AcsrnNano. "Through precise control of nanoscale building blocks, such as proteins and polyamines,rnsilica condensing microorganisms are able to create intricate mineral structures displayingrnhierarchical features from nano-to millimeter-length scales. The creation of artificial structuresrnof similar characteristics is facilitated through biomimetic approaches, for instance, by firstrncreating a bioscaffold comprised of silica condensing moieties which, in turn, govern silicarndeposition into three-dimensional (3D) structures," scientists in Albuquerque, United Statesrnreport.
