What are S-Layer proteins? S stands for surface: glycoprotein subunits forming outer envelope of Bacteria and Archea S stands for surface: glycoprotein subunits forming outer envelope of Bacteria and Archea Periodic structures with defined physico-chemical properties (pore size) Periodic structures with defined physico-chemical properties (pore size) Self_assemble into 2D layers to form monomolecular lattices: potential in nanobiotechnologies (scaffolds, patterning matrices) Self_assemble into 2D layers to form monomolecular lattices: potential in nanobiotechnologies (scaffolds, patterning matrices)
29
Applications of S-layers 1. 1. production of isoporous ultrafiltration membranes 2. 2. supporting structures for defined immobilization or incorporation of functional molecules (e.g. antigens, antibodies, ligands, enzymes) 3. 3. matrix for the development of biosensors including solid-phase immunoassays and label-free detection systems 4. 4. Support and stabilizing matrices for functional lipid membranes, liposomes, and emulsomes 5. 5. adjuvants for weakly immunogenic antigens and haptens 6. 6. Matrix for controlled biomineralization and structure for formation of ordered arrays of metal clusters or nanoparticles (molecular electronics and nonlinear optics or catalysts)
