title: Formation of layered titania and zirconia catalysed by surface-bound silicatein.
abstract: Silicatein immobilised on self-assembled polymer layers using a histidine-tag chelating anchor group retains its hydrolytical activity for the formation of biosilica, and catalyses the formation of layered arrangements of biotitania and biozirconia.
