Abstract
Silicatein, a silica-polymerizing enzyme, is an attractive and promising biocatalyst in many applications such as the synthesis of bio-functionalized inorganic materials under mild conditions. However, its unfavorable aggregation in aqueous media due to its intermolecular hydrophobic interactions causes difficulties in handling and applications. This study aimed to enhance the solubility of silicatein via fusion with a small soluble protein, ProS2. ProS2-Sil showed high solubility and stability in aqueous media for more than 24 h. The aggregation property of ProS2-silicatein fusion protein (ProS2-Sil) was investigated with and without cleavage of ProS2 tag by site-specific protease. When ProS2 tag was removed, silicatein became aggregated, which was analyzed by transmission electron microscope and fluorescence microscope. ProS2-Sil and mature silicatein showed similar activities in silica polymerization. The present approach allows the utilization of silicatein in the fabrication of novel and functional inorganic biohybrid materials.

Fabrication of silica on chitin in ambient conditions using silicatein fused with a chitin-binding domain. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2021; 44:1883-1890.

Abstract
High temperatures, harsh pH conditions, and toxic chemicals involved in the conventional synthesis and coating of silica limit the fabrication of new-generation hybrid materials immobilizing live cells and biomolecules such as enzymes and drugs. This hinders the application of inorganic-organic biohybrid materials in various fields, including bioelectronics, energy generation, and biomedicine. Silicatein, an enzyme found in siliceous sponges, catalyzes the polymerization of silica under mild conditions, that is, at room temperature and neutral pH. Silicatein was fused with a chitin-binding domain (ChBD) to selectively bind the fusion silicatein on the chitin material and with a small soluble tag called InakC, a hydrophilic protein from Pseudomonas syringae, to control the unfavorable aggregation of silicatein. The fusion silicatein was soluble in aqueous media and was successfully found to be adsorbed on the chitin material. The immobilized fusion silicatein acted as an interfacial catalyst to fabricate silica on chitin under ambient conditions. This technique can be used to fabricate inorganic-organic hybrid materials to immobilize biomolecules and can be applied to develop novel biocatalytic systems, biosensors, and tissue culture scaffolds.

Abstract
Silicatein is an enzyme capable of catalyzing silica formation under mild conditions and is a promising catalyst for the fabrication of biohybrid materials. However, unfavorable aggregation of silicatein makes it unsuitable for use in material fabrication. In this study, a soluble protein tag (ProS2) and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) were used to develop a soluble and cellulose-binding fusion silicatein, ProS2-Sil-CBM, which can be efficiently immobilized on cellulose to form silica on it. ProS2-Sil-CBM was soluble in aqueous media and strongly bound to cellulose. ProS2-Sil-CBM bound on cellulose catalyzed the formation of a silica layer on the cellulose in the presence of tetraethyl orthosilicate as the substrate. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface elemental analysis confirmed the formation of silica on cellulose. This technique can be used to fabricate inorganic-organic hybrid materials to immobilize biomolecules and can be applied to develop novel biocatalytic systems, biosensors, and tissue culture scaffolds.

Abstract
Bioinspired synthesis offers potential green strategies to build highly complex nanomaterials by utilizing the unique nanostructures, functions, and properties of biomolecules, in which the biomolecular recognition and self-assembly processes play important roles in tailoring the structures and functions of bioinspired materials. Further understanding of biomolecular self-assembly for inspiring the formation and assembly of nanoparticles would promote the design and fabrication of functional nanomaterials for various applications. In this review, we focus on recent advances in bioinspired synthesis and applications of hierarchical nanomaterials based on biomolecular self-assembly. We first discuss biomolecular self-assembly towards biological nanomaterials, in which the mechanisms and ways of biomolecular self-assembly as well as various self-assembled biomolecular nanostructures are demonstrated. Secondly, the bioinspired synthesis strategies including molecule-molecule interaction, molecule-material recognition, molecule-mediated nucleation and growth, and molecule-mediated reduction/oxidation are introduced and discussed. Meanwhile, typical examples and discussions on how biomolecular self-assembly inspires the formation of hierarchical hybrid nanomaterials are presented. Finally, the applications of bioinspired nanomaterials in biofuel cells, light-harvesting systems, batteries, supercapacitors, catalysis, water/air purification, and environmental monitoring are presented and discussed. We believe that this review will be very helpful for readers to understand the self-assembly of biomolecules and the biomimetic/bioinspired strategies for synthesizing hierarchical nanomaterials on the one hand, and on the other hand to design novel materials for extended applications in nanotechnology, materials science, analytical science, and biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures, physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past decade, investment in research on materials such as ZnO, TiO2, SiO2, and GeO2 has significantly increased. Besides traditional approaches, the synthesis, shaping, structural patterning, and postprocessing chemical functionalization of the materials surface is inspired by strategies which mimic processes in nature. Would such materials deliver new technologies? Answering this question requires the merging of historical knowledge and current research from different fields of science. Practically, we need an effective defragmentation of the research area. From our perspective, the superficial accounting of material properties, chemistry of the surfaces, and the behavior of biomolecules next to such surfaces is a problem. This is particularly of concern when we wish to bridge between technologies in vitro and biotechnologies in vivo. Further, besides the potential practical technological efficiency and advantages such materials might exhibit, we have to consider the wider long-term implications of material stability and toxicity. In this contribution, we present a critical review of recent advances in the chemistry and engineering of MO-based biocomposites, highlighting the role of interactions at the interface and the techniques by which these can be studied. At the end of the article, we outline the challenges which hamper progress in research and extrapolate to developing and promising directions including additive manufacturing and synthetic biology that could benefit from molecular level understanding of interactions occurring between inanimate (abiotic) and living (biotic) materials.
