Copper has been immobilized on glycylglycine bolaamphiphile peptide nanotubes that display histidine residues, and paramagnetic gadolinium, a magnetic resonance image contrast agent, has been immobilized on nanofibers produced from peptide amphiphiles (see Gazit, 2007 and references therein).

Several applications have been envisaged for nanocrystals, ranging from simple dyes to magnetic-resonance-imaging contrast agents [160], components of electronic circuitry [33, 161] and magnetic media [115], ingredients in catalyst and sensors, and so on. All the above applications seek to exploit the tunability provided by the size-dependent properties of the nanocrystals [4]. Before we dwell upon collective properties in mesostructures, the case of isolated nanocrystals is briefly discussed.

Nuetral templates may not be bound to the zeolite surface but simply trapped. This is the basis of our zeolite synthesis method for the preparation of ship-in-a-bottle metal complexes, ie crystallization of the zeolite around a metal chelate complex. Zeolite encapsulated metal complexes have many applications, ranging from shape selective catalysis [9] to magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents [10].
