Book Synopsis Bioinspired Nanoarchitecture: Nanofabrication of Two-dimensional Metallic and Semiconductor Arrays Using Microbial Surface Layer (S-layer) Protein Biotemplates by : Sonny S. Mark
Download or read book Bioinspired Nanoarchitecture: Nanofabrication of Two-dimensional Metallic and Semiconductor Arrays Using Microbial Surface Layer (S-layer) Protein Biotemplates written by Sonny S. Mark. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By organizing structures such as nanoparticles and nanowires/pillars into two-dimensional (2-D) arrays, it has been shown that novel properties of these materials can often arise due to cooperative effects. Thus, the creation of highly ordered structures on nanometer-length scales is an area of much active research, and is expected to be crucial for the development next-generation optical, electronic, and magnetic devices. However, since the fabrication of ordered arrays with feature spacings in the sub-50 nm size range is not trivial using conventional lithographic processes, one has to look towards alternative methods. One possibility, explored in this dissertation, is to exploit the intrinsic periodic properties of naturally occurring biological structures known as surface layer ('S-layer') proteins.

Book Synopsis Protein-based Nanoarchitectures by : Leonardo Maestri Teixeira
Download or read book Protein-based Nanoarchitectures written by Leonardo Maestri Teixeira. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to efficiently build and control structures at the nanometer scale using biomolecules is currently an area of very active research. Although natural systems have a vast repertoire of nanostructures able to self-assemble into complex systems, its adoption in industrial nanofabrication process is still a utopian idea. Crystalline bacterial cell surface layer (S-layer) proteins are an example of biological, self-assembled nanostructures that can be exploited for nanotechnology applications. This dissertation focuses on the self-formation of Lysinibacillus sphaericus S-layer (SbpA) and the exploitation of its intrinsic properties for nanobiofabrication. SbpA self-assembly kinetics were studied in detail, as well as, the interaction of SbpA with synthetic surfaces mimicking the natural substrate used as an anchor by SbpA on the bacterial cell surface. It was found that SbpA self-assembles in solution at a rate that is dependent on temperature, the concentration of SbpA, as well as the concentration of calcium ions, and sodium chloride. In addition, SbpA-carbohydrate interaction is dependent on the carbohydrate density, and the net dissociation rate slows with increasing association times. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates were bionanofabricated with the aid of a recombinant SbpA, where sub-micromolar concentration levels of 2-mercaptopyridine could be detected, demonstrating the potential of the bionanofabricated SERS substrate using recombinant SbpA.

Book Synopsis Protein-based Engineered Nanostructures by : Aitziber L. Cortajarena
Download or read book Protein-based Engineered Nanostructures written by Aitziber L. Cortajarena. This book was released on 2016-09-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the engineering of protein-based nanostructures and nanomaterials. One key challenge in nanobiotechnology is to be able to exploit the natural repertoire of protein structures and functions to build materials with defined properties at the nanoscale using “bottom-up” strategies. This book addresses in an integrated manner all the critical aspects that need to be understood and considered to design the next generation of nano-bio assemblies. The book covers first the fundamentals of the design and features of the protein building blocks and their self-assembly illustrating some of the most relevant examples of nanostructural design. Finally, the book contains a section dedicated to demonstrated applications of these novel bioinspired nanostructures in different fields from hybrid nanomaterials to regenerative medicine. This book provides a comprehensive updated review of this rapidly evolving field.
