%X We report optically induced rapid aggregation and subsequent separation of selective single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) functionalized with bacteriorhodopsin. Induced aggregation rate depends on the absorption of bacteriorhodopsin. Optically separated, bio-nano hybrid complexes show stable, preferential binding with SWNTs of specific diameters whereas, unbound SWNTs remains well-dispersed in the solution.
