Concise Definition of Subject
Self-assembly processes in biological systems generate well-organized, higher-order protein structures with unique functions. Protein cross-linking can occur by covalent or non-covalent linkage of proteins that have natural affinity in vivo, generating intrinsic architectures, such as viral particles, cell-surface pilus nanoarchitectures, and biomass degrading nanomachines (e.g., cellulosome). To mimic this singular natural biomolecular assembly system, the design of artificial conjugates is becoming very attractive. Several strategies have ...
