Title: Sortase-mediated labeling of M13 bacteriophage and the formation of multi-phage structures
Description: M13 filamentous bacteriophage has been used as a biotemplate for the nucleation of materials. Phage is an ideal and diverse scaffold with its large aspect ratio and ability to display biomolecules to bind a range of targets. To form more complex patterned materials, interactions between the phage must be specific and reliable. We develop a phage labeling method using sortase enzymes to create multi-phage nanostructures.
