Abstract:
The intricate structure of proteins allows them to act as powerful catalysts and highly specific recognition units. However, their structural sophistication also makes them unstable and difficult to handle in clinical and industrial settings. I will discuss two ongoing projects where we, as structural biologists, team up with chemists and material scientists to incorporate designed protein constructs into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs).
