Peptide capable of silica deposition and use thereof

摘要

A peptide for synthesizing silica and use thereof are provided. The peptide for synthesizing silica can polymerize silica from a silica precursor in an aqueous solution having conditions of normal temperature, normal pressure and near-neutral weak base. The peptide for synthesizing silica can form a self-assembled structure during silica synthesis, and thus can be used as various biomaterials such as a silica-based protein immobilizer, a biosensor, and a drug delivery system.

主权项

1. A method of synthesizing silica, comprising:
reacting a silica precursor with at least one peptide, wherein said peptide is selected from the group consisting of amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 7, and a fusion protein thereof, wherein said fusion protein comprises a self-assembling protein and at least one peptide selected from the group consisting of amino acid sequences set forth in SEQ ID Nos: 1 to 7.
