Amyloid-like fibers for bionanotechnology. (A) Nanowires based on the N-terminal region of the yeast prion, Sup35. Nanogold was covalently linked to the engineered cysteine residues in the protein and conjugate colloidal gold and silver particles were associated along the fibers to form wires,80 (B) assembly of diphenylalanine to form nanotubes that can be filled with silver to make nanowires.82
