Ff-nano, Short Functionalized Nanorods Derived from Ff (f1, fd or M13) Filamentous Bacteriophage

F-specific filamentous phage of Escherichia coli (Ff: f1, M13 or fd) are long thin filaments (860 nm x 6 nm). They have been a major workhorse in display technologies and bionanotechnology; however, some applications are limited by the high length-to-diameter ratio of Ff. Furthermore, use of funct...
