First Claim
1. An isolated peptide sequence that selectively binds to a crystalline face of a target crystal, wherein the peptide sequence is selected from the group consisting of SEQ. ID. Nos. 1 to 11, which has been isolated from phage display library or a combinatorial library.

Abstract
The present invention includes methods for selective binding of inorganic materials and the compositions that made up of the selecting agent and the target materials. One form of the present invention is a method for selecting crystal-binding peptides with binding specificity including the steps of contacting one or more amino acid oligomers with one or more single-crystals of a semiconductor material so that the oligomers may bind to the crystal and eluting the bound amino acid oligomers from the single-crystals.
