Helical Crystallization of Proteins on Carbon Nanotubes: A First Step towards the Development of New Biosensors

Two distinct proteins, streptavidin and HupR, bind and form regular helical arrays on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under appropriate conditions (see picture). The decoration of the outer surface of these nanostructures with biological macromolecules was investigated by electron micros...

Zusammenfassung:Two distinct proteins, streptavidin and HupR, bind and form regular helical arrays on the surface of multiwalled carbon nanotubes under appropriate conditions (see picture). The decoration of the outer surface of these nanostructures with biological macromolecules was investigated by electron microscopy.
