Materials for the production of nanometer structures and use thereof

The present invention pertains to nanostructures. i.e. nanometer sized structures useful in the construction of microscopic and macroscopic structures. In particular, the present invention pertains to nanostructures based on bacteriophage T4 tail fiber proteins and variants thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to polypeptides comprising modified gp37 tail fiber proteins of bacteriophage T4.

Compositions comprising lanthionine-containing bacteriocins such as nisin in combination with a chelator act as bactericides in low pH environments. In a preferred embodiment pharmaceutical preparations containing the compositions are used for the control of bacteria responsible for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
