Biophotovoltaics: Orientation and Incorporation of Photosystem I in Bioelectronics Devices Enabled by Phage Display (Adv. Sci. 5/2017)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photosystem I (PSI) is a key element in Nature’s photosynthesis and an attractive building block for bio-inspired solar energy conversion systems. In article number 1600393, Ryan C. Chiechi, Andreas Herrmann, and co-workers describe how phage display enables the selection of small peptides that allow almost perfect orientation of PSI on semiconductor electrodes in solid state bio-photovoltaic devices.

Orientation and Incorporation of Photosystem I in Bioelectronics Devices Enabled by Phage Display
Interfacing proteins with electrode surfaces is important for the field of bioelectronics. Here, a general concept based on phage display is presented to evolve small peptide binders for immobilizing and orienting large protein complexes on semiconducting substrates. Employing this method, photosystem I is incorporated into solid-state biophotovoltaic cells.
متن کاملSelf-assembled photosystem-I biophotovoltaics on nanostructured TiO2 and ZnO
The abundant pigment-protein membrane complex photosystem-I (PS-I) is at the heart of the Earth's energy cycle. It is the central molecule in the "Z-scheme" of photosynthesis, converting sunlight into the chemical energy of life. Commandeering this intricately organized photosynthetic nanocircuitry and re-wiring it to produce electricity carries the promise of inexpensive and environmentally fr...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Tumor-Binding Peptide for Lung Cancer Through in-vitro Panning
Tumor-targeted therapies are playing growing roles in cancer research. The exploitation of these powerful therapeutic modalities largely depends on the discovery of tumor-targeting ligands. Phage display has proven a promising high throughput screening tool for the identification of novel specific peptides with high binding affinity to cancer cells. In the present study, we describe the use of ...

متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Novel Phage Displayed scFv Fragment for Human Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Molecular Docking Analysis of Their Interactions
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression amplifies to excess amounts in several disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Although, Anti-TNF biologics have revolutionized the treatment of these autoimmune diseases, formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) has dramatically affected their use. The next generation antibodies (e.g. Fab, scFv) have not only reduced resulted immunoge...
