Artificial coiled coil biomineralisation protein for the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles

Proteins have been used in the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles but issues with aggregation limit this application. Here, the authors report on the synthesis of coiled proteins that display the active loop of the natural proteins to avoid aggregation and investigate the application in nanoparticl...
