Abstract
Tailoring the hydrophilicity of solid surfaces with a strong affinity to water has been extensively explored in the last 20 years, but studies have been limited to the single function of wettability. Here, the multifunctional properties of tailored surface films are extended from exhibiting superwettability to facilitating biological activities. It is shown that amyloid fibrils can be universally coated onto various substrates, such as fabrics (non-woven organic masks), metal meshes, polyethersulfone (PES), glass, and more, endowing the resulting surfaces with excellent performance in oil/water mixture and emulsion separation, antifouling, and antifogging. Moreover, the biocompatible crosslinked amyloid fibril coatings can serve as a platform for biocatalytic activities by immobilizing enzymes, as shown in the 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) oxidation and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) degradation by laccase from Trametes versicolor. The study provides a universal approach to modifying surface morphology and chemical properties via fibrous protein templates, opening the way to unexplored bio-based applications and functionalities.

Abstract
Protein nanotechnology research is at the intersection of protein biology and nanotechnology. Protein molecules are repurposed as nanostructures and nanoscaffolds, and nanoscale tools are used to investigate protein assembly and function. In this chapter, a select review is given of some of the recent examples of protein nanostructures, covering both those directly borrowed from biology and those designed for use in nanotechnology. It updates the introductory chapter to Edition 2 of this volume to reflect significant progress in this field. Some strategies to incorporate protein structures into devices are also covered, with the successes and challenges of this interdisciplinary field identified. This provides an overarching framework for the rest of the volume, which details the case studies of some of the protein building blocks that have been designed and produced, along with tips and tools for their incorporation into devices and making functional measurements.

Abstract
Amyloid nanofibrils are ubiquitous biological protein fibrous aggregates, with a wide range of either toxic or beneficial activities that are relevant to human disease and normal biology. Protein amyloid fibrillization occurs via nucleated polymerization, through non-covalent interactions. As such, protein nanofibril formation is based on a complex interplay between kinetic and thermodynamic factors. The process entails metastable oligomeric species and a highly thermodynamically favoured end state. The kinetics, and the reaction pathway itself, can be influenced by third party moieties, either molecules or surfaces. Specifically, in the biological context, different classes of biomolecules are known to act as catalysts, inhibitors or modifiers of the generic protein fibrillization process. The biological aggregation modifiers reviewed here include lipid membranes of varying composition, glycosaminoglycans and metal ions, with a final word on xenobiotic compounds. The corresponding molecular interactions are critically analysed and placed in the context of the mechanisms of cytotoxicity of the amyloids involved in diverse pathologies and the non-toxicity of functional amyloids (at least towards their biological host). Finally, the utilization of this knowledge towards the design of bio-inspired and biocompatible nanomaterials is explored.

Abstract
Amyloid fibrils are a class of insoluble protein nanofibers that are formed via the self-assembly of a wide range of peptides and proteins. They are increasingly exploited for a broad range of applications in bionanotechnology, such as biosensing and drug delivery, as nanowires, hydrogels, and thin films. Amyloid fibrils have been prepared from many proteins, but there has been no definitive characterization of amyloid fibrils from hemoglobin to date. Here, nanofiber formation was carried out under denaturing conditions using solutions of apo-hemoglobin extracted from bovine waste blood. A characteristic amyloid fibril morphology was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), with mean fibril dimensions of approximately 5 nm diameter and up to several microns in length. The thioflavin T assay confirmed the presence of β-sheet structures in apo-hemoglobin fibrils, and X-ray fiber diffraction showed the characteristic amyloid cross-β quaternary structure. Apo-hemoglobin nanofibers demonstrated high stability over a range of temperatures (-20 to 80 °C) and pHs (2-10), and were stable in the presence of organic solvents and trypsin, confirming their potential as nanomaterials with versatile applications. This study conclusively demonstrates the formation of amyloid fibrils from hemoglobin for the first time, and also introduces a cost-effective method for amyloid fibril manufacture using meat industry by-products.
