Covalently Binding the Photosystem I to Carbon Nanotubes

Materials Science 2015-05-13 v1 Soft Condensed Matter

Abstract

We present a chemical route to covalently couple the photosystem I (PS I) to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Small linker molecules are used to connect the PS I to the CNTs. Hybrid systems, consisting of CNTs and the PS I, promise new photo-induced transport phenomena due to the outstanding optoelectronic properties of the robust cyanobacteria membrane protein PS I.
