SUMMARY:Engineered proteins as tools for assembly of functional structures

DESCRIPTION:Proteins are the most versatile biological building blocks\, c
 omposed of amino acids offering rich chemistry. Proteins present enormous 
 diversity in 3D structures that translates into amazing functional diversi
 ty. Thus proteins have great potential for use as building blocks in order
  to construct tailored designed systems\, including nanofabrication and ge
 neration of novel protein-based biomaterials. We explore the potential of 
 proteins as building blocks toward the generation of functional nanostruct
 ures and bioinspired materials for applications in nanobiotechnology and n
 anomedicine. In particular\, our main objective is to develop versatile pl
 atforms based on simple protein building blocks for the fabrication of mul
 tiple protein-based hybrid functional nanostructures and biomaterials.
