Protein assemblies are a class of highly organized biomaterials, which hold promise as novel materials for (bio)nanotechnological applications. Especially, hierarchical assemblies formed with protein monomers as building blocks have been recently designed and developed as supramolecular platforms with several applications such as catalysis of biochemical reactions, bio-electronics, medical imaging, drug delivery and tissue engineering. These protein frameworks have emerged attractive due to the two-dimensional and three-dimensional organization to form supramolecular architectures such as sheets, rings, cages and tubes or wires. They are promising in terms of innate biocompatibility, easy bio-conjugation to incorporate multiple functionalities and well-defined nano-scale lengths for manomedicinal applications.
