Crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (s layers): from supramolecular cell structure to biomimetics and nanotechnology.
An astonishingly broad application potential in biotechnology, biomimetics, and nanotechnology is revealed by studies on the structure, chemistry, biosynthesis, genetics, self-assembly, and function of supramolecular surface layers (S layers). These are monomolecular, crystalline assemblies of protein or glycoprotein subunits and represent one of the most commonly observed surface structures of...

متن کاملBiological Applications of Bacterial Nano-Surface Layers : A Brief Overview
Surface layer as the outer protective coverage of bacteria and archaea are two-dimensional crystalline and symmetrical arrays of proteins that recently attract a lot of attention for biologist scientists. The surface layers of bacteria are usually 5 to 10 nm in diameter and represent highly porous protein lattices with uniform size and morphology with the pore sizes of 2 to 8 nm. The crucial an...

Crystalline surface layer proteins (S-layer proteins) have considerable potential for the crystalline arrays in biotechnology, biomimetics and nonlife applications, including areas such as microelectronics and molecular nanotechnology. The extensive application potential of surface layers in nanobiotechnology is according to the particular inherent attributes of the single molecular arrays cons...
متن کاملAre S-layers exoskeletons? The basic function of protein surface layers revisited.
Surface protein or glycoprotein layers (S-layers) are common structures of the prokaryotic cell envelope. They are either associated with the peptidoglycan or outer membrane of bacteria, and constitute the only cell wall component of many archaea. Despite their occurrence in most of the phylogenetic branches of microorganisms, the functional significance of S-layers is assumed to be specific fo...
