In our work this year, we focused on creating a toolbox that can easily modify the surface of silicon dioxide with functional proteins. We achieved this by using “Silinkers”. Unlike current methods, which are time-consuming, hazardous, and result in weak connections and loss of protein activity, our approach is much more efficient. Our method works for almost all proteins, has strong connections, is stable even at high temperatures, and doesn't affect the protein's function. By combining different Silinker proteins, we can turn mesoporous silica into a smart delivery system, expanding the use of nanomaterials in medicine. The current interface will show the important results that confirm the success of our design during the experiments.
