Protein nanofibrils offer advantages over other nanostructures due to the ease in their self-assembly and the versatility of surface chemistry available. Yet, an efficient and general methodology for their post-assembly functionalization remains a significant challenge. We introduce a generic approach, based on biotinylation and thiolation, for the multi-functionalization of protein nanofibrils self-assembled from whey proteins. Biochemical characterization shows the effects of the…

Protein microgels from amyloid fibril networks.
TLDR
It is shown that protein nanofibrils can be used to form the basis of monodisperse microgels and gel shells composed of naturally occurring proteins, and that these materials are nontoxic to human cells and that they can be use to enhance the efficacy of antibiotics relative to delivery in homogeneous solution.
Protein Microgels from Amyloid Fibril Networks.
TLDR
The propensity of proteins to self-assemble into amyloid fibrils can be exploited under microconfinement, afforded by droplet microfluidic techniques, and this approach allows the generation of multi-scale functional microgels that can host biological additives and can be designed to incorporate additional functionality, such as to aid targeted drug delivery.
Amyloid fibril based bionanotechnologies.
TLDR
Electrochemistry studies demonstrated that functionalised PNFs can be successfully used to develop single enzyme-, or dual enzyme-based biosensing elements, for glucose and lactose analysis, and surface-assembly studies established that PNF scaffold provides more surface area for biomolecule immobilisation, and can be used to create PNF-based active surfaces.
