Abstract
⺠Bacterial S-layer proteins have a great potential as nanoscale building blocks. ⺠By genetic engineering, functional domains were incorporated into S-layers. ⺠Recombinant fusion proteins were functional and maintained self-assembly capability. ⺠Nanobiotechnological applications are sensor technology, diagnostics, vaccine development, and biocatalysts.
