Incubation with presynthesized 5-nm gold nanoparticles created an ordered arrangement of the particles along the 5-nm gold nanoparticles produced an ordered arrangement from the particles along the virion surface. virion surface. The resulting Au-plated nanowires reached 496775-62-3 Technical Information dimensions of 10 nm in diameter as well as the resulting Au-plated length [77].reached dimensions of ten nm in created negative electrodes roughly 1 in nanowires Similarly, Nam and colleagues diameter and roughly 1 for in length [77]. ion batteries applying very ordered M13-templated gold-cobalt for use in lithium[85]. use in lithium Similarly, Nam and colleagues developed unfavorable electrodes oxide nanowires ion batteries using highly ordered M13-templated gold-cobalt oxide nanowires [85]. 4 consecutive NTo do that, the group engineered a modified pVIII coat protein containing To complete this, the group engineered a modified pVIII coatbind cobalt oxide (Co3O4) along with an more gold-binding terminal glutamate residues to protein containing 4 consecutive N-terminal glutamate residues to bind cobalt oxide (Co3 O4 ) in conjunction with an additionalAu- and Co3O4-specific peptides hybrid clone peptide motif. This hybrid clone expressing both gold-binding peptide motif. This developed a expressing consistingand a modest volume of Au created a nanowire consisting of3O4.

Within a later study whilst the pIII protein was bound to FePO4 although the pIII protein pVIII protein was bound to FePO4 [86], the pVIII protein was modified with a peptide sequence was modified with a peptide sequence facilitating the interaction with single-walled carbon nanotubes facilitating the interaction with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). This brought collectively (SWCNTs).

(A) The gene VIII protein (pVIII), a major capsid protein from the virus, is modified to serve as a template for gene VIII protein (pVIII), a significant capsid protein of the virus, is modified to serve as a template for amorphous anhydrous iron phosphate (a-FePO44)) development. The gene III protein (pIII) can also be engineered amorphous anhydrous iron phosphate (a-FePO development.
