| Title Hybrid bioinorganic insulin amyloid fibrils Article in journal Authors Qun Tang, Niclas Solin, Jun Lu, Olle Inganäs Publication Year 2010 Source CHEMICAL COMMUNICATIONS, 2010, (46)23, 4157-4159 Link to Source (DOI) 10.1039/c002718a Abstract <p>Herein we report a method to functionalize in vitro grown insulin amyloid fibrils with various inorganic materials. The counterion of the positively charged amyloid fibril is exchanged with anions from various salts; subsequent addition of appropriate cations results in functionalization of the amyloid fibril. We demonstrate the formation of apatite and platinum complex structures ordered by the amyloid template.</p> |
