A Tailorable Nanotube, Formed by a Ring-shaped Protein

May 5, 2008

Contact: Dan Krotz, (510) 486-4019
There’s a new building block in the nanoscience tool box. Scientists at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry used a recently discovered, donut-shaped protein to build customizable nanotubes that can be lengthened, shortened, or sealed at both ends to form capsules.
Although still in the early investigational stage, these tailorable nanotubes could someday [...]
