Genetically Engineered Protein Nanomaterials

This book highlights the latest advances in nanosized polymerized protein structures that are involved in cellular events. These structures have inspired the creation of innovative protein nanomaterials using genetic and protein engineering strategies, some of which are addressed in this book. These structures can be classified into three major groups: Cage proteins, viral capsid proteins and amyloid proteins.
