This project explores the use of silicon transporters from diatoms to create innovative nanoscale materials through bioinspired methods. By reconstituting these proteins in synthetic liposomes, it aims to develop controlled environments for synthesizing silica nanoparticles and core-shell structures, enhancing properti…
This interdisciplinary proposal will investigate whether the activity of a unique family of membrane transport proteins can be harnessed to develop novel strategies for the bioinspired fabrication of nanoscale materials and provide new directions in synthetic biology.
Silicon transporters (SITs) are integral membrane proteins that were first identified in the diatoms, single–celled eukaryotic algae that surround themselves with a cell wall of hydrated silica.
The biosynthesis of this ‘glass hous…
