Bacteria ‘Nanowires’ could help Develop Green Electronics

Bacteria 'nanowires' could help develop green electronics
Structure of γPFD filaments and incorporation of heme to make conductive nanowires. a) Filament assembly of γPFD through β-sheet domains, and b) proposed binding of heme molecules to the coiled-coil domains to form γPFD-heme nanowires. c) Protein-ligand binding isotherm with 30 µm of γPFD and varying concentration of heme, which indicates a stochiometric ratio of ≈1 heme per γPFD subunit in filaments. d) TEM image of the γPFD-heme nanowires.
