Proposed mechanism for the bacteriophage directed formation of hexagonal mesoporous silica. The insets show the cross-section view of bacteriophages assembly. The magenta spots stand for mono- and oligo-hydrolysized APTES that are anchored to bacteriophage surface and function as nuclei for subsequent TEOS polycondensation. The blue color illustrates the formed silica net work through TEOS polycondensation on the nuclei.
