Zusammenfassung

The project will utilize phages (bacterial viruses) to construct new self-assembling nano-architectures and novel enzyme-driven systems. The unique structure of the phages - molecular addressable biological nanowires - will allow to position enzyme-catalysts with sub-micron precision on the proteinaceous phage template. In addition genetic engineering and versatile linkers will be used to couple the phages to micro- and nanoparticles and to build novel network architectures with the phages. This permits truly macroscopic applications of these chemically active systems and allows to dev...
