Abstract
To date, metallization studies have been performed with the nanometer-scale template, Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). Here we show that fullerenes as well can be deposited on TMV coat protein in a controlled manner. Two methods were followed for the coating process. First, underivatized fullerene was dispersed in different solvents to bring the underivatized fullerene and wild-type TMV together. Improved depositions were obtained with the fullerene dicarboxylic derivative synthesized via the Bingel method. The form of the coating was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Our results demonstrate that the coating efficiency with the carboxy derivative was much better compared to the underivatized fullerene. The goal of coupling a carbon nanoparticle to a biological molecule, the viral coat of TMV, was achieved with the carboxy derivative of fullerene, resulting in the production of navette-shaped nanorods. The interactions between carboxyfullerenes and TMV were investigated through modeling with computational simulations and Gaussian-based density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the Gaussian09 program package. The theoretical calculations supported the experimental findings. This inexpensive and untroublesome method promises new fullerene hybrid nanomaterials in particular shapes and structures.

Abstract
Background Virus-like particle (VLP) platform represents a promising approach for the generation of efficient and immunogenic subunit vaccines. Here, the feasibility of using grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) VLPs as a new carrier for the presentation of human papillomavirus (HPV) L2 epitope was studied. To achieve this goal, a model of the HPV L2 epitope secondary structure was predicted and its insertion within 5 external loops in the GFLV capsid protein (CP) was evaluated. Results The epitope sequence was genetically inserted in the αB-αB” domain C of the GFLV CP, which was then over-expressed in Pichia pastoris and Escherichia coli. The highest expression yield was obtained in E. coli. Using this system, VLP formation requires a denaturation-refolding step, whereas VLPs with lower production yield were directly formed using P. pastoris, as confirmed by electron microscopy and immunostaining electron microscopy. Since the GFLV L2 VLPs were found to interact with the HPV L2 antibody under native conditions in capillary electrophoresis and in ELISA, it can be assumed that the inserted epitope is located at the VLP surface with its proper ternary structure. Conclusions The results demonstrate that GFLV VLPs constitute a potential scaffold for surface display of the epitope of interest.

Abstract
A DNA-based approach allows external control over the self-assembly process of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-like ribonucleoprotein nanotubes: their growth from viral coat protein (CP) subunits on five distinct RNA scaffolds containing the TMV origin of assembly (OAs) could be temporarily blocked by a stopper DNA oligomer hybridized downstream (3') of the OAs. At two upstream (5') sites tested, simple hybridization was not sufficient for stable stalling, which correlates with previous findings on a non-symmetric assembly of TMV. The growth of DNA-arrested particles could be restarted efficiently by displacement of the stopper via its toehold by using a release DNA oligomer, even after storage for twelve days. This novel strategy for growing proteinaceous tubes under tight kinetic and spatial control combines RNA guidance and its site-specific but reversible interruption by DNA blocking elements. As three of the RNA scaffolds contained long heterologous non-TMV sequence portions that included the stopping sites, this method is applicable to all RNAs amenable to TMV CP encapsidation, albeit with variable efficiency most likely depending on the scaffolds' secondary structures. The use of two distinct, selectively addressable CP variants during the serial assembly stages finally enabled an externally configured fabrication of nanotubes with highly defined subdomains. The "stop-and-go" strategy thus might pave the way towards production routines of TMV-like particles with variable aspect ratios from a single RNA scaffold, and of nanotubes with two or even more adjacent protein domains of tightly pre-defined lengths.

Abstract
The spacing of functional nanoscopic elements may play a fundamental role in nanotechnological and biomedical applications, but is so far rarely achieved on this scale. In this study we show that tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and the RNA-guided self-assembly process of its coat protein (CP) can be used to establish new nanorod scaffolds that can be loaded not only with homogeneously distributed functionalities, but with distinct molecule species grouped and ordered along the longitudinal axis. The arrangement of the resulting domains and final carrier rod length both were governed by RNA-templated two-step in vitro assembly. Two selectively addressable TMV CP mutants carrying either thiol (TMVCys) or amino (TMVLys) groups on the exposed surface were engineered and shown to retain reactivity towards maleimides or NHS esters, respectively, after acetic acid-based purification and re-assembly to novel carrier rod types. Stepwise combination of CP(Cys) and CP(Lys) with RNA allowed fabrication of TMV-like nanorods with a controlled total length of 300 or 330 nm, respectively, consisting of adjacent longitudinal 100-to-200 nm domains of differently addressable CP species. This technology paves the way towards rod-shaped scaffolds with pre-defined, selectively reactive barcode patterns on the nanometer scale.

Abstract
We show that 3 nm wide cobalt-iron alloy nanowires can be synthesized by simple wet chemical electroless deposition inside tubular Tobacco mosaic virus particles. The method is based on adsorption of Pd(II) ions, formation of a Pd catalyst, and autocatalytic deposition of the alloy from dissolved metal salts, reduced by a borane compound. Extensive energy-filtering TEM investigations at the nanoscale revealed that the synthesized wires are alloys of Co, Fe, and Ni. We confirmed by high-resolution TEM that our alloy nanowires are at least partially crystalline, which is compatible with typical Co-rich alloys. Ni traces bestow higher stability, presumably against corrosion, as also known from bulk CoFe. Alloy nanowires, as small as the ones presented here, might be used for a variety of applications including high density data storage, imaging, sensing, and even drug delivery.

Abstract
Maize rayado fino virus (MRFV) virus-like-particles (VLPs) produced in tobacco plants were examined for their ability to serve as a novel platform to which a variety of peptides can be covalently displayed when expressed through a Potato virus X (PVX)-based vector. To provide an anchor for chemical modifications, three Cys-MRFV-VLPs mutants were created by substituting several of the amino acids present on the shell of the wild-type MRFV-VLPs with cysteine residues. The mutant designated Cys 2-VLPs exhibited, under native conditions, cysteine thiol reactivity in bioconjugation reactions with a fluorescent dye. In addition, this Cys 2-VLPs was cross-linked by NHS-PEG4-Maleimide to 17 (F) and 8 (HN) amino acid long peptides, corresponding to neutralizing epitopes of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). The resulting Cys 2-VLPs-F and Cys 2-VLPs-HN were recognized in Western blots by antibodies to MRFV as well as to F and HN. The results demonstrated that plant-produced MRFV-VLPs have the ability to function as a novel platform for the multivalent display of surface ligands.

Abstract
Spherical plant viruses like the tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) allow for multiple applications in nanotechnology due to their shape. In this article, different types of the virus were created by extending coat protein (CP) at carboxylic termini with 2 different charged amino acids by point mutation. The obtained CPs carried 6 aspartic acid (negative charge) and 4 histamine (positive charge) residues. The ability of TBSV to form self assembled monolayers with large ordered areas on native and chemically modified mica will be presented. The structural differences between layers formed by the wild type and by the genetically modified types will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
Detection and characterization of nano delivery systems is an essential part of understanding the benefits as well as the potential toxicity of these systems in food. This review gives a detailed description of food nano delivery systems based on lipids, proteins, and/or polysaccharides and investigates the current analytical techniques that can be used for the identification and characterization of these delivery systems in food products. The analytical approaches have been subdivided into three groups; separation techniques, imaging techniques, and characterization techniques. The principles of the techniques together with their advantages and drawbacks, and reported applications concerning nano delivery systems, or otherwise related compounds are discussed. The review shows that for a sufficient characterization, the nano delivery systems need to be separated from the food matrix, for which high-performance liquid chromatography or field flow fractionation are the most promising techniques. Subsequently, online photon correlation spectroscopy and mass spectrometry seem to be a convenient combination of techniques to characterize a wide variety of nano delivery systems.

Abstract
Biological colloids, and in particular viruses, have demonstrated substantial potential as scaffolds for nanoparticle arrays. However, the large-area, low-cost, and rapid assembly of viruses, such as by traditional colloidal processing techniques, is not well-established. Systematic exploration of processing space (virus concentration, assembly speed, and substrate surface energy) for the convective assembly method enables the fabrication of films of rod-shaped viruses (tobacco mosaic virus, TMV) with a high degree of long-range order. Monolayer assemblies several centimeters in length are comprised of TMV aligned parallel to the direction of assembly. Increasing TMV concentration and reducing assembly speed resulted in well-ordered viral layering ( N = 2 to N = 12); however, the top virus layer exhibits varying degrees of in-plane disorder.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are the focus of much attention due to their astonishing properties and numerous possibilities for applications in nanotechnology. For realising versatile functions, assembly of nanoparticles in regular patterns on surfaces and at interfaces is required. Assembling nanoparticles generates new nanostructures, which have unforeseen collective, intrinsic physical properties. These properties can be exploited for multipurpose applications in nanoelectronics, spintronics, sensors, etc. This review surveys different techniques, currently employed and being developed, for assembling nanoparticles in to ordered nanostructures. In this endeavour, the principles and methods involved in the development of assemblies are discussed. Subsequently, different possibilities of nanoparticle-based nanostructures, obtained in multi-dimensions, are presented.

Abstract
In recent years, plant virus capsids, the protein shells that form the surface of a typical plant virus particle, have emerged as useful biotemplates for material synthesis. All virus capsids are assembled from virus-coded protein subunits. Many plant viruses assemble capsids with precise 3D structures providing nanoscale architectures that are highly homogeneous and can be produced in large quantities. Capsids are amenable to both genetic and chemical modifications allowing new functions to be incorporated into their structure by design. The three capsid surfaces, the interior surface, the exterior surface, or the interface between coat protein subunits, can be independently functionalized to produce multifunctional biotemplates. In this review, we examine the recent advances in using plant virus capsids as biotemplates for nanomaterials and their potential for applications in nanotechnology, especially medicine.

Abstract
A dilute salt-free solution of rodlike polyanions in the presence of anisotropic (chain) cations consisting of neutral tails and charged heads is studied. Using Monte Carlo simulation within the framework of the primitive model, different Coulomb coupling regimes were considered. While aggregation in the strong coupling limit is expected, we report new morphology, namely, the formation of ribbonlike nanostructures. At strong electrostatic interaction, the system is found to undergo the self-organization resulting in the formation of planar aggregates that look like a "ladder" of polyanions sandwiched between cationic chains. We investigate the stability of different morphologies and find that these aggregates are thermodynamically stable. Focus has been made on how the chemical structure of anisotropic cations affects the morphology of the aggregates.

Abstract
The use of viral nanoparticles (VNPs) as building blocks for material fabrication has received particular attention in recent years. In earlier studies we showed the applicability of native gel electrophoresis in an agarose matrix as a useful method for the characterization of chemically modified VNPs. Here, we extend these studies and analyze the observed band pattern of intact Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) VNPs in agarose gels and show the applicability of native agarose gels for monitoring interparticle linkage of thiol-containing CPMV mutant particles. In addition, we report a protocol that allows the introduction of acetate-protected thiols to CPMV by means of a chemical reaction (rather than genetic modification). The advantage of this approach is that, by incorporating protected thiol groups, the formation of disulfide bonds leading to interparticle linkage is prevented. The resulting thiol-modified CPMV-SH(n) particles are stable, and following deprotection, the introduced thiols are reactive and can be labeled with thiol-selective reagents. They therefore provide a useful additional building block in the CPMV toolbox.

Abstract
We propose a simple theory of interactions between like-charged polyelectrolyte and a surface based on a mean-field Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek approach. It predicts that the van der Waals attractive interactions are responsible for irreversible physisorption of polyelectrolytes onto charged surfaces. We show that monovalent salts contribute significantly to repulsive interactions, while enhancing the attraction very slightly. The effect of the divalent counterions is reverse. Therefore, to achieve the adsorption, the overall repulsion due to 1:1 electrolyte should be counterbalanced by the stronger van der Waals attraction due to the presence of doubly charged counterions in solution. The theory has been validated experimentally against its ability to predict the minimum polymer/surface interaction energy required for the adsorption using DNA/mica in NaCl, MgCl2, and NiCl2 solutions as a test system. The theory explains the mechanism of linear DNA adsorption to a mica surface for different solvent compositions and can be used as a tool for predicting the optimum conditions for AFM experiments on linear polymer systems. The model can also be used to make general conclusions on the conformation of polymer molecules on a surface. We have shown for the DNA/mica surface system that when the adsorption of DNA is mostly governed by long-range van der Waals forces the molecule adopts an ideal 2D conformation. When the adsorption is mostly due to short-range ion-correlation forces, DNA will appear 3D --> 2D projected in agreement with experimental data.

Abstract
For the first time, decoration of surface-exposed carboxylate groups on Cowpea mosaic virus particles is reported, thus increasing the number and types of addressable surface groups on this nanoscaffold. First, the addressabilty of carboxylates was demonstrated using a carboxylate-selective fluorescent dye, N-cyclohexyl-N'-(4-(dimethylamino)naphthyl)carbodiimide. Second, it was shown that the virions can be decorated with approximately 180 redox active, methyl(aminopropyl)viologen moieties by coupling to the surface carboxylates. The display of multiple redox centers on the virus particle surface may lead to the development of novel electron-transfer mediators in redox catalysis, to biosensors, and to nanoelectronic devices such as molecular batteries.

Abstract
We report a structural characterization of self-assembling nanostructures. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), we discovered that partially hydrolyzed alpha-lactalbumin organizes in a 10-start helix forming tubes with diameters of only 21 nm. We probed the mechanical strength of these nanotubes by locally indenting them with an AFM tip. To extract the material properties of the nanotubes, we modeled the experiment using finite element methods. Our study shows that artificial helical protein self-assembly can yield very stable, strong structures that can function either as a model system for artificial self-assembly or as a nanostructure with potential for practical applications.

Abstract
The traditional motivation for integrating biological components into microfabricated devices has been to create biosensors that meld the molecular recognition capabilities of biology with the signal processing capabilities of electronic devices. However, a different motivation is emerging; biological components are being explored to radically change how fabrication is achieved at the micro- and nanoscales. Here we review biofabrication, the use of biological materials for fabrication, and focus on three specific biofabrication approaches: directed assembly, where localized external stimuli are employed to guide assembly; enzymatic assembly, where selective biocatalysts are enlisted to build macromolecular structure; and self-assembly, where information internal to the biological material guides its own assembly. Also reviewed are recent results with the aminopolysaccharide chitosan, a material that offers a combination of properties uniquely suited for biofabrication. In particular, chitosan can be directed to assemble in response to locally applied electrical signals, and the chitosan backbone provides sites that can be employed for the assembly of proteins, nucleic acids, and virus particles.
