In this thesis, elastin-like protein (ELP) GPG-AG3-Histidine tag (His tag), is designed for control synthesis of nanomaterials. The hydrophobic domain (GPG domain) is responsible for self-assembling and the hydrophilic domains (AG3 and His tag) are capable of mineralizing inorganic materials. It is...
