Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to novel functionalized biomolecules and methods for generating such biomolecules. Biomolecules may generally include nucleic acids, peptides, multicomponent molecular complexes and/or any other molecular products that may be produced by living organisms. The present invention is further directed to cells and/or organisms manipulated to produce such functionalized biomolecules. The cells contemplated by the present invention include both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic cells. The functionalized biomolecules are produced via materials introduced into the cell using standard molecular biology techniques or are incorporated within the genomic nucleic acid of a cell by standard recombination techniques. Further contemplated is the use of such cells for sequestration of target molecules within the cells.
