20110085939 | NODE POLYPEPTIDES FOR NANOSTRUCTURE ASSEMBLY - Engineered proteins are used in the assembly of two-dimensional and three-dimensional nanostructure assemblies, based on systematic design and production of protein node structures that can be interconnected, for example, with streptavidin or streptavidin-incorporating struts to produce structures with defined dimensions and geometry. Nanostructure assemblies having utility as functional devices or as resists for the patterning of substrates have architectures including polygons, polyhedra, two-dimensional lattices, and three-dimensional lattices. | 04-14-2011 |
