The synthesis of nanostructured materials, especially metallic nanoparticles, has accrued utmost interest over the past decade owing to their unique properties that make them applicable in different fields of science and technology. The limitation to the use of these nanoparticles is the paucity of an effective method of synthesis that will produce homogeneous size and shape nanoparticles as well as particles with limited or no toxicity to the human health and the environment. The biological method of nanoparticle synthesis is a relatively simple, cheap, and environmentally friendly method than the conventional chemical method of synthesis and thus gains an upper hand. The biomineralization of nanoparticles in protein cages is one of such biological approaches used in the generation of nanoparticles. This method of synthesis apart from being a safer method in the production of nanoparticles is also able to control particle morphology.

Thank you Madam!!! Yes madam as per your view it very necessary to concentrate on other material which are eco friendly. Next I am planning to work on that by using biological tools to synthesize the nano based materials .........
Very nice and interesting paper. I think such a way to "mine" (i.e., concentrate metals from the environment) would be the way to go if we are to continue using metals in our technology. In the long run, we should aim at other materials rather than plastics and metals, and achieve functionality rather by structure than material.
