- Abstract
- The generation of nanosized probes often requires time-intensive and application-specific optimization processes that involve conjugating a nanoconstruct to a targeting moiety. Herein, we genetically modify apoferritin and generate a universal interface system composed of protein G and 6x His-tag. The resulting construct, conferred with modularity and high targeting efficiency, is applied toward two distinct applications in the detection of a pancreatic cancer biomarker and used to demonstrate its potential in the facile exchange of nanoprobe components.
