Structural Studies to Elucidate the Mechanisms of Biobased Nanoparticle Synthesis
Abstract
Protein and peptide directed synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials offers several advantages over traditional synthesis methods. These advantages include material production under more environmentally friendly conditions, extremely fine control over nanoparticle shape and size, and the ability to functionalize the nanoparticle surface through the use of protein fusions. Two of the next major advances in the field of peptide and protein driven nanomaterial synthesis will be the ability to rationally design biomolecules for novel, highly controlled nanostructure synthesis, and the ability to engineer this capability into organisms that can then be used as nanomaterial factories.
