摘要建议编号：CTS-0210220标题NER：生物模板定向组装纳米晶体阵列主要研究人员：Yu，Michael，Johns Hopkins U利用生物组装的纳米模板组装定义良好的半导体和金属材料的2D纳米晶体阵列是拟议项目的主要目标。PI将探索紫色膜，这是一种来自盐杆菌的自然产生的膜蛋白晶体斑块，作为精确结构的纳米模板。关键是开发基因工程紫膜，使其在膜表面显示独特的官能团，并具有良好的纳米对称性。这些反应性官能团被用作纳米晶固定化的特定锚定位置。

ABSTRACTProposal No. CTS-0210220Title NER: Biotemplate Directed Assembly of Nanocrystal ArraysPrincipal Investigator: Yu, Michael, Johns Hopkins UThe assembly of well defined 2D nanocrystal arrays of semiconducting and metallic materials using biologically assembled nanoscale template is the major goal in the proposed project. The PI will explore the purple membrane, a naturally occurring membrane protein crystal patch from halobacteria as a precisely structured nanoscale template. The key is to develop genetically engineered purple membranes that display unique functional groups on the membrane surfaces with well defined nanoscale symmetry. These reactive functional groups are used as specific anchoring sites for nanocrystals immobilization.
