Amyloid nanofibril-based materials for water purification. (a) Structure of the β-lactoglobulin protein with the heavy metal-binding motif highlighted, 121-cys, with a lead ion attached and the 121-cys-containing fragment (LACQCL) from β-lactoglobulin with docked Pb2+. (b and c) Concentrations of heavy metal and radioactive pollutants before and after filtration through the amyloid fibril-activated carbon hybrid adsorber membrane: (b) potassium dicyanoaurate(i); (c) mercury chloride.
