Abstract

Viral protein assemblies have been recently shown to hold promise as molecular templates for applications in sensing, imaging, and catalysis of several biochemical reactions by combinations of self-assembly, chemical modifications and mutagenesis. Several strategies based on self-assembly reactions of homo- and heterolytic viral monomer proteins are highlighted and future applications in nanomaterials science and biotechnology are discussed.
