Abstract: | All connected: a protein-immobilized electrode comprising hierarchical assemblies of photoactive cytochrome b(562) reconstituted with zinc protoporphyrin IX exhibits remarkably enhanced photocurrent generation relative to an electrode bearing a single zinc-substituted hemoprotein layer. The protein oligomers, which bear a covalently linked protoporphyrin group, assemble by a supramolecular heme/heme pocket interaction. |
