Plastic tubing: The parallel alignment of single-walled carbon nanotubes (NTs) with a self-assembling biomolecular scaffold, the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), is presented. A multifunctional polymeric surfactant brings together these two disparate components: The NTs are solubilized by a layer of poly(ethylene glycol) attached through a pyrene anchor, and the pendant alkoxyamine groups of the surfactant allow mild bioconjugation with ketone-labeled proteins.
