Article Synopsis
- The study explores how proteins control the formation of biological materials, focusing on a specific protein called the R5 motif of silaffin, known for its silicification abilities.
- Researchers created multifunctional proteins by genetically fusing R5 with three different fluorescent proteins to produce modified proteins capable of synthesizing silica micro/nanoparticles.
- The synthesized silica particles were analyzed for their fluorescence and biocompatibility, showcasing a new biomimetic approach to producing fluorescent nanoparticles for various applications in biomaterials and nanotechnology.
