Bioengineering of S-layers: molecular characterization of the novel S-layer gene sslA of Sporosarcina ureae ATCC 13881 and nanotechnology application of SslA protein derivatives
S-layer proteins of S. ureae ATCC 13881 form on the cell surface an S-layer lattice with p4 square type symmetry and a period of about 13.5 nm. These lattices were shown to be the excellent nanotemplates for deposition of regular metal clusters. The synthesis of the S. ureae S-layer protein is …

Synthetic scaffolds and protein assemblies for engineering applications
S-layer proteins, which naturally self-assemble on the exterior of cells, provide an interesting basis for the creation of synthetic scaffolds. In this thesis, I created a plasmid which produces a recombinant form of a well characterized S layer protein, sbpA, which has a number of properties ideal …

Electrochemical nanomoulding through proteins
… This work introduces the concept of using proteins, essentially monodisperse complex polymers whose three-dimensional structures are fixed by their encoded amino acid sequences, as "moulds" around which nanostructures can be built by electrochemical fabrication.Bacterial cell-surface layer …

Phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of Clostridium Difficile
… minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) and S-layer protein typing. In addition to this, isolates were also investigated for the production of a range of extracellular enzymes as potential virulence factors. Genotypic characterisation was performed using a random amplification of polymorphic …
