Reagentless Protein Assembly Triggered by Localized Electrical Signals

Electrode‐imposed signals are used to assemble proteins without the need for reactive reagents. The two‐step assembly approach uses i) cathodic signals to electrodeposit the amino‐polysaccharide chitosan and ii) anodic signals to activate the chitosan film for protein assembly. Proteins are shown to...

Summary:Electrode‐imposed signals are used to assemble proteins without the need for reactive reagents. The two‐step assembly approach uses i) cathodic signals to electrodeposit the amino‐polysaccharide chitosan and ii) anodic signals to activate the chitosan film for protein assembly. Proteins are shown to assemble at individual electrode addresses, with spatial selectivity and quantitative control.
