In this paper we introduce an high-resolution bottom up approach, the protein adaptor-based nano-object assembly (PABNOA), which leads to protein-guided self-assembly of NPs. The bioinspired translation of genetic information into biomimetic nanostructures enables to guide the self-assembly of genetically encoded protein-based nanoscale biohybrid materials. Applications can range from biohybrid materials with new biological , chemical and physical properties, over epitope-distance assembly, arrangement of biocatalytic activities and bioshuttles and cellular bioprobes.
