Abstract
An astonishingly broad application potential in biotechnology, biomimetics, and nanotechnology is revealed by studies on the structure, chemistry, biosynthesis, genetics, self-assembly, and function of supramolecular surface layers (S layers). These are monomolecular, crystalline assemblies of protein or glycoprotein subunits and represent one of the most commonly observed surface structures of prokaryotic cell envelopes (see schematic representation of an archaebacterial cell envelope).Keywords: Immobilization; Membranes; Nanotechnology; S layers; biomimetics
