AI Article Synopsis
- Rodlike type 1 bacterial pili can self-assemble into ordered nanostructures when suitable inducers are present.
- By changing the type and amount of inducers, researchers can create different arrangements: 1D bundles, 2D double-layer lattices, and 3D multilayer lattices.
- These self-assembled pili act as templates to help organize inorganic materials like silica into desired structures.
Article Abstract
[Image: see text] Rodlike type 1 bacterial pili particles (see picture, red) self-assemble into highly ordered nanostructures through molecular recognition in the presence of suitable inducers. 1D bundles, 2D double-layer lattices, and 3D multilayer lattices were produced by varying the nature and concentration of the inducers. The self-assembled pili serve as templates for nucleating and organizing inorganic nanomaterials such as silica.
