The Vision
- polypeptides can form nano-cages for delivery of molecules such as drugs (proteins or smaller compounds), dyes, - advanced biomaterials for cell growth and tissue modeling/regeneration based on combinations of different functional proteins that can be selected from the library, - separation devices that can separate molecules according to many different properties, - biosensors, where we can separate the analyzed molecules according to their size or we can attach functional groups imparting specific interactions. We have demonstrated structure and properties of isolated protein, however we can imagine that those polypeptides may be able to self-assemble within or at the surface of living cells and provide some health benefits, such as attachment of different targets, interface with nanosensors, etc.
