| Research Abstract |
In nature, there are a large number of protein assemblies with well-defined and robust nanostructures. However, it remains still difficult to artificially prepare and functionalize such assemblies as nanomaterials. We have synthesized a bio-nanotube consisting of the tubular component proteins of bacteriophage T4 by designing its quaternary structure. The results suggest that the construction of protein assemblies from component proteins of biosupramolecules can be a potential approach for development of bionanomaterials.
