Despite the obvious need, there is, however, no readily accessible synthetic method that allows the use of proteins as building blocks for higher-order, functional architectures. Toward this goal, our group has developed strategies for directing the self-assembly of proteins through controlled metal coordination on protein surfaces. These strategies have led to a diverse set of nano- and microscale biomaterials and new metalloenzymes, and provided insights about how nature itself may utilize similar strategies for the evolution of functional proteins.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:christoph.fahrni@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Christoph Fahrni\u003C\/a\u003E (404-385-1164).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProf. F.
