Construction of robust bio-nanotubes using the controlled self-assembly of component proteins of bacteriophage T4.

of functional molecules at appropriate sites. Thus, it has remained challenging to obtain tube structures with high sta-bility and well-defi ned nanoscale lengths for properly aligning synthetic molecules on the surfaces of the nanotubes. The β -helical protein motif holds promise as a candidate to overcome these problems. This motif occurs predominantly in native tubular structural proteins such as antifreeze proteins, prions, and viruses.
