Active site structure and redox processes of cytochrome c oxidase immobilised in a novel biomimetic lipid membrane on an electrode

摘要

Membrane-bound cytochrome c oxidase was attached to an electrode via a His-tag linker and studied by surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy,demonstrating intact redox site structures and electron transfer between the electrode and the immobilized enzyme.Nanostructured and mesoscopically scaled electronic devices including biomolecules as molecular building blocks represent one of the main topics in contemporary nano-biotechnology.
