By mimicking the process of biomineralization in nature, phages and their peptides discovered from phage display can also be used in the synthesis of inorganic materials. In nature, specific binding proteins to various inorganic crystals, such as silicon dioxide in diatoms, iron oxide in magnetic bacteria, calcium carbonate in abalone shells, or calcium phosphate in bones and teeth, are found in organic-inorganic They play a key role in the synthesis of hybrid materials. Similarly, specific recognition peptides for desired crystal surfaces identified by phage display can be utilized to template the growth of various target inorganic crystals. Due to their monodisperse and elongated rod shape, many filamentous bacteriophages have been extensively studied as liquid crystal model systems. By varying variables such as concentration, ionic strength, and external field, phages are able to form ordered liquid crystal structures. In the low concentration range (below 5 mg/ml), the phages are randomly arranged in the isotropic liquid crystal phase. Some viral particles such as the M13 virus have been studied as solid-phase two-dimensional films and one-dimensional fibers at higher concentrations (10-20 mg/ml).
