This study presents the Ni-ion-directed self-assembly of a C₂-symmetric homodimeric enzyme into nanowires. A genetically introduced His-tag arm stretches out of the central structure of a C₂-symmetric homodimer of glutathione S-transferase, which is used as a linker to recruit a second building block through interprotein metal coordination, forming self-assembled one-dimensional nanostructures with excellent enzymatic activity.
