Abstract
Materials that combine inorganic components and biological molecules provide a new paradigm for synthesizing nanoscale and larger structures with tailored physical properties. These synthesis techniques utilize the molecular recognition properties of many biological molecules to nucleate and control growth of the nanoscale structure. Phage-displayed peptide libraries are a powerful tool to identify peptides that selectively recognize and bind to a variety of inorganic surfaces that are utilized in electronic and photonic devices. These libraries have been used extensively to study the peptide-mediated nucleation and growth of some metallic and semiconducting materials, and the application to designed nanostructures has been demonstrated.
