Within a later study even though the pIII protein was bound to FePO4 while the pIII protein pVIII protein was bound to FePO4 [86], the pVIII protein was modified using a peptide sequence was modified having a peptide sequence facilitating the interaction with single-walled carbon nanotubes facilitating the interaction with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).
