title: Organic and inorganic nanoparticle hybrids.
abstract: Viruses are exemplary models in nanoassembly for their regular geometries, well characterized surface properties, and nanoscale dimensions. Armed with versatile tools aimed at site-directed mutagenesis to modify the virion's surface, conjugation chemistry for capsid coupling, and manipulation of nanoparticles, we have demonstrated nanoscale assembly of inorganic carbon nanotubes and quantum dots with engineered viruses to produce an intimate array of hybrid structures.
