Internal Deposition of Cobalt Metal and Iron Oxide Within CPMV eVLPs

Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology book series (MIMB,volume 1776)

Abstract

Empty (containing no genomic material) CPMV virus-like particles are loaded within the virus capsid with metal or metal oxide. Metal ions are allowed to diffuse through pores in the capsid surface and are reduced or hydrolyzed to metallic nanoparticles. The external surface of the virus-like particles remains amenable to further chemical modification.

Key words

  • Protein cages
  • Iron oxide
  • Cobalt
  • Cowpea mosaic virus-like particles
  • Templated mineralization
