Graphene is readily doped with holes by the surface-bound peptides. Genetically engineered self- assembling peptides with tailored molecular architectures and corresponding electrical functionalities will open up new opportunities towards rationally designed self-assembled peptidoelectronic nanodevices able to operate under biological conditions. 7 7 Sheet Sheet 6 6 Bare Bare Graphene Graphene 5 5 - - 40 40 - - 20 20 0 0 20 20 40 40 Gate Voltage (V) Gate Voltage (V) RESEARCH Supported by NSF via GEMSEC, MRSEC at UW (DMR-0520567) Hayamizu, So, Yazici, Oren, Tamerler, Sarikaya, 2010 For more information, visit Genetically Engineered Materials Science and Engineering Center at: http://depts.washington.edu/gemsec/
