Abstract

A scanning tunnelling microscopy study of adsorption of wild-type Pseudomonas putida putidaredoxin at a gold (111)-buffer interface has been made in real time. Reversible adsorption has been observed reflecting weak interaction of the wild-type protein with a gold (111) electrode. A genetically engineered mutant, C73S-D58C. which contains a surface thiol, has been used for 'immobilization' and 'orientated adsorption' on the gold surface. The implication of such orientated immobilization in development of a bio-electrode surface has been predicted.
