Collagen implants: The unique molecular properties of the collagen-like triple helix, generated and amplified by recombinant technology, enable the formation of rigid rod-shaped molecules that are ideally suited as biomolecular-nanowire templates. Biomineralization of Au on the triple helix (see picture) produces monodisperse Au nanowires with dimensions 4x40 nm2.
