• W3194734742 abstract "Nature leads, we follow. But nanotechnologists are in hot pursuit, in designing controllable structures that can mimic naturally occurring and artificially synthesized materials on a common platform. The supramolecular chemistry concerns the investigation of nature principles to produce fascinating complexed and functional molecular assemblies, as well as the utilization of these principles to generate novel devices and materials, potentially useful for sensing, catalysis, transport and other applications in medical or engineering science.The work presented in this thesis is a compilation of different synthetic methods to achieve inorganic-organic hybrid nanomaterials. Silicatein, a protein enzyme, which acts both as a catalyst and template for the formation of silica needles in marine sponges, has been used for the biosynthesis of semiconductor metal oxides on surfaces. Silicatein was immobilized on gold (111) surfaces using alkane thiol, as well as on a novel self-assembly of NTA on top of a “cushion” of reactive ester polymer has been successfully employed to make functionalised surfaces. The immobilization of silicatein on surfaces was monitored by surface plasmon spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Surface bound silicatein retains its biocatalytic activity, which was demonstrated by monitoring its hydrocatalytic activity to catalyse the synthesis of biosilica, biotitania, and biozirconia. The synthesis of semiconductor metal oxides was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. This hydrolytic biocatalyst is used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles. The gold nanoparticles are formed by reduction of tetrachloroaurate, AuCl4-, by the action of sulfhydryl groups hidden below the surface groups of the protein. The resulting gold nanoparticles which are stabilized by surface bound silicatein further aggregate to form Au nanocrystals. The shape of the nanocrystals obtained by using recombinant silicatein is controlled through chiral induction by the protein during the nucleation of the nanocrystals. As an extension of this work, TiO2 nanowires were functionalized using polymeric ligand which incorporates the nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) linker in the back bone to immobilize His-tagged silicatein onto the TiO2 nanowires. The surface bound protein not only retains its original hydrolytic properties, but also acts as a reductant for AuCl4- in the synthesis of hybrid TiO2/silicatein/Au nanocomposites. Functionalized, monocrystalline rutile TiO2 nanorods were prepared from TiCl4 in aqueous solution in the presence of dopamine. The surface bound organic ligand controls the morphology as well as the crystallinity and the phase selection of TiO2. The surface amine groups can be tailored further with functional molecules such as dyes. As an example, this surface functionality is used for the covalent binding of a fluorescent dye,4-chloro-7- nitrobenzylurazene (NBD) to the TiO2 nanorods. The polymeric ligands have been used successfully for the in-situ and post-functionalization…" @default.
