This article talks about taking advantage of the enzymatic reactions to make organic nanoscale materials. Three different approaches are described. First, Engineered enzymes are able to assemble and form aggregations or change morphology via polymeric precursors. Second, engineered enzymes, having the ability to aggregate, form hydrogel upon small molecule treatment. Third, phosphatase or a destabilizing switch element triggers a conformation change of a peptide leading to polymer aggregation and formation of nanofibrils. These advancements can lead future material with biological systems.
