Bionanocomposites including bacteriorhodopsin and carbon nanofibers. Atomic-force microscopy

The interaction of bacteriorhodopsin with carbon nanofibers (40–100 nm in diameter) was studied for the first time by atomic-force microscopy. The formation of planar nanostructures 200–250 nm wide in films grown by evaporation of an aqueous solution was demonstrated. Langmuir films containing nanof...

Description
Summary:The interaction of bacteriorhodopsin with carbon nanofibers (40–100 nm in diameter) was studied for the first time by atomic-force microscopy. The formation of planar nanostructures 200–250 nm wide in films grown by evaporation of an aqueous solution was demonstrated. Langmuir films containing nanofibers and lipid were obtained. The interaction between nanofibers and Triton X-100 was studied.
