TL;DR: In situ AFM measurements confirmed the importance of ionic bonds in the formation of crystalline SbpA layers at silicon supports and the stability of solid‐supported SBPA layers could be enhanced by cross‐linking the S‐layers with amino–amino or amino–carboxyl group directed cross‐linkers.

TL;DR: Crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (S-layers) composed of identical protein units have been used as binding templates for well-organized arrangements of nanoparticles and TEM studies reveal that upon activation of carboxyl groups in the S-layer lattice with 1-ethyl-3,3'(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), a close-packed monolayer of 4-nm amino-functionalized CdSe nanoparticles could

TL;DR: In this paper, S-layer-supported lipid bilayers on planar silicon substrates have been formed using crystalline bacterial cell surface (S-layer) protein as support onto which DMPC (pure or mixture with 30 mol % cholesterol) or DPPC bilayers were deposited.

TL;DR: S-layer proteins have the intrinsic property of being able to recrystallize into two-dimensional arrays at a broad spectrum of surfaces (e.g. air-water interface or planar lipid films) and interfaces as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the structure, chemistry, and assembly of crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (S-layers) is given, which represent the most common cell surface structures observed in prokaryotic organisms and can be used as the structural basis for a biomolecular construction kit involving all major species of biological molecules.
