| Abstract: | Supramolecular protein polymers consisting of cytochrome b562 monomers with heme covalently attached to the protein surface are presented by T. Hayashi and co‐workers in their Communication on page 1271 ff. Not only one‐dimensional hemoprotein fibers with submicrometer lengths have been prepared, but when a heme triad was added as a pivot molecule, two‐dimensional protein assembly networks resulted, which cover over 100 square micrometers.  |
