Abstract excerpt
Bioelectronic systems derived from peptides and proteins are of particular interest for fabricating novel flexible, biocompatible and bioactive devices. These synthetic or recombinant systems designed for mediating electron transport often mimic the proteinaceous appendages of naturally occurring electroactive bacteria. Drawing inspiration from such conductive proteins with a high content of aromatic residues, we...
