  Functioning Macromolecular Structure Blocks in the form of Bionanoparticles
  Author(s): John Carvell*
  
  We want to talk about bionanoparticles, which have the unique properties of being self-assembling and multifunctional. In particular, protein cages like those found in plant viruses and ferritin, in addition to other clearly defined self-assembling structural motifs of proteins, are useful building blocks with a lot of potential in (bio) nanotechnology. Biomedicine, diagnostics and analytics, and nanoelectronics are just a few of the fields in which promising results and applications are being presented by a growing number of research projects. Bionanoparticles for hybrid and soft protein–polymer composite materials, on the other hand, have not yet received a lot of attention. The structure of a few selected plant viruses and ferritin will be used as an example to illustrate the structural principles of clearly defined protein complexes in the beginning of th.. Read More»
