“…This may be of major importance for presenting cell targeting, adhesion and differentiation‐mediating ligands in biomedical applications and 3D matrices used for tissue culture (L. A. Lee et al, ; X. Liu et al, ; Luckanagul et al, ; Maturavongsadit et al, ; Sitasuwan, Lee, Li, Nguyen, & Wang, ; Zan, Sitasuwan, Powell, Dreher, & Wang, ; Zhao, Lin, & Wang, ), but is also advantageous for applications relying for example, on enzyme and antibody display (Koch et al, ). Even smaller distances of coupling sites on TLPs have been generated for double‐mutant TMV CPs displaying both an additional lysine and an additional cysteine residue on the outer tube surface (Wege & Geiger, ). In addition, the zeta potential of the viral nanorod surface may be adjusted through incorporating a fraction of CP molecules with altered charge, in order to control the particles' deposition on surfaces and interactions with inorganic matter (Atanasova et al, ; Atanasova, Kim, Chen, Eiben, & Bill, ).…”
