In the near future, single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is
expected to expand the family of popular analytical tools for single-molecule …

The mechanistic understanding of protein functions requires insight into the structural and
reaction dynamics. To elucidate these processes, a variety of experimental approaches are …

The encapsulation of enzymes and other proteins into inorganic host materials has attracted
considerable attention over the past few years. This research has demonstrated that …

Supported planar lipid bilayers based on alkanethiol-tethering chemistry are becoming
increasingly important biomimetic materials. Hybrid bilayers containing thiol-derivatized …

The adsorption of cytochrome c onto a range of different mesoporous silicates (MPS) was
studied. The materials used, templated using both cationic and nonionic surfactants, have …

Silver colloids of 20 nm mean particle diameter were prepared by laser ablation and
modified by adsorption of iodide and bromide ions. Addition of cytochrome c to this colloid …

Eukaryotic membrane bound cytochrome c is believed to use areas of negative and positive
charge to bind to the membrane and to interact in vivo with the corresponding oxidase and …

Conjugates between cytochrome c (Cc) and colloidal Au particles have been prepared.
These conjugates, purified by centrifugation/resuspension, provide a reproducible means of …

Strategies for protein detection via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) currently
exploit the formation of randomly generated hot spots at the interfaces of metal colloidal …

Revised Manuscript Received April 14, 1989 abstract: The structure and the electron-
transfer properties of cytochrome c (cyt c) adsorbed on a silver electrode were analyzed by …
