Graphical Abstract

Plastikrohre: Das parallele Ausrichten von einwandigen Kohlenstoffnanoröhren (NTs) und einem selbstorganisierenden Biomolekülgerüst, dem Tabakmosaikvirus (TMV), gelingt mithilfe eines multifunktionellen polymeren Tensids: Die NTs werden durch Umhüllen mit einer Polyethylenglycol-Schicht solubilisiert, die über einen Pyrenanker angebunden ist, und die endständigen Alkoxyamingruppen des Tensids ermöglichen eine milde Biokonjugation mit Keton-markierten Proteinen.
