摘要

In recent years it has been shown that biological structures can be used as versatile platforms in the field of nanoscience. Our research focuses on the icosahedral plant virus Cowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus (CCMV), which consists of an RNA genome enclosed by a 28 nm protein capsid. This virus can reversibly be assembled from its protein dimers, even when no RNA is present. We have shown that the empty capsid can be used to encapsulate enzymes and by using confocal microscopy the activity of these enzymes was studied at the single-enzyme level. Another example of the use of CCMV capsids is the synthesis of highly monodisperse Prussian blue nanoparticles. Prussian blue precursor compounds were encapsulated in the capsid, and the nanoparticles were subsequently synthesized by irradiation with UV light. Analysis of the resulting product revealed the presence of very robust capsids containing 18 nm Prussian blue particles, which could be spread in hexagonal patterns on a mica surface.
