| Research Abstract |
Metal constructs a crystal with a unit of atom. Especially in the thin film, the atoms can align in an epitaxial manner on the underlying layer. On the other hand, protein also constructs a crystal with a unit of one protein cage structure. In this study, we investigated the control of crystal growth of protein by applying concept of the epitaxial growth to the protein crystal. In particular, Pyrococcus furiosus virus-like particle (PfV) which has a core insid was used and we investigated the synthesis of the magnetic nanoparticle inside the PfV and the possibility of the regular alignment of magnetic nanoparticles by applying the above concept of crystal growth.
