Abstract

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is the first virus to be discovered. Due to its special one-dimensional structure, monodispersity in nanoscale, good biocompatibility, chemical and genetic modification, TMV has aroused great research interests in self-assembly and as a building block for construction of bio-nano composite materials. Here, the recent developments of TMV in the self-assembly and fabrication of biocomposite materials are summarized. Its future research and application are reviewed in the end.
