While the field of virotronics and bio-MEMS have existed for some time, controlled fabrication techniques for generating custom 3D structures from biomolecules has largely remained non-existent. Because of their modularity, ease of production, and monodispersity, we have implemented viruses in a new, low-cost processing method for generating custom 3D virus microstructures towards the goal of generating customizable biochemical electromechanical systems. Using a straightforward technique of capillary based extrusion, we reveal that biomolecular architectures having chemical, as well as, microelectromechanical systems level control can be rapidly prototyped. In the future, we aim to show that intrinsic biochemical (selectivity) and microelectromechanical (sensitivity, actuation) properties of the virus architectures can provide for new levels of control for biomolecular devices. |
