Surface immobilization of engineered hemeproteins: Orientation, stability, structure, and function

Biologically derived macromolecules have drawn great interests for their potentials in biotechnology and material applications. Hemeproteins, including myoglobin, cytochrome b$\sb5$ and cytochrome b$\sb{562}$ that are used in this study, are excellent candidates for the fabrication of novel biomaterials due to their unique electronic and optical properties. This work shows that protein engineering technology coupled with recently developed self-assembly and Langmuir-Blodgett techniques can provide powerful tools to manipulate micro-structures of protein monolayers at solid/air and liquid/air interfaces.
