• understood. Recent studies indicate specific genes and proteins play a major role [22]. As shown in Figure 5, the growth dynamic is believed to be a multistep process [22][23]: Invagination of cytoplasmic membrane: The cytoplasmic membrane invaginates for vesicle formation. These vesicles later serve as

• within the vesicles is controlled by an oxidation–reduction system. Nucleation: Several proteins are believed to regulate the morphology. Mms5, Mms6, Mms7 and Mm13 are tightly bound to the magnetic nanoparticle. All these proteins are amphiphilic. Their N-terminal is hydrophilic while their C-terminal is
