Abstract:
In this Account, "a step toward clinical nanorobots" is proposed as one of the Holy Grails in chemistry, which could lead to a great leap in the field of biomedicines when accomplished. We review our preliminary contributions to this challenge by engineering chaperonin protein GroEL to generate de novo structures and functions.
