ZnO Binding Peptides: Smart Versatile Tools for Controlled Modification of ZnO Growth Mechanism and Morphology

Material binding peptides are proving to have great potential in improving material synthesis and advancing device fabrication; however, their specificity and interaction mechanisms with target surfaces remain largely elusive. This study contributes to the developing understanding of fundamental principles through which ZnO binding peptides (ZnO-BPs) interact with and modify ZnO growth/morphology. The ZnO-BPs used were the reported phage display...
