SILICATEIN-MEDIATED SYNTHESIS OF AMORPHOUS SILICATES AND SILOXANES AND USE THEREOF

摘要

Silicatein is an enzyme from silicate-producing organisms for the synthesis of the silica skeleton thereof. The invention relates to the use of well-expressed and highly-active silicatein from natural source silicatein, isolated after gene induction and silicatein fusion proteins for the synthesis of amorphous silicon dioxide (silicic acids and silicates), siloxanes and modifications of said compounds and the technical application thereof.
