Self-assembly of flagellin on Au(111) surfaces

- Flagellin from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on Au(111).
- Flagellin monomers spontaneously self-assemble forming a monolayer thick film.
- The protein assembles as cylindrical-like structures containing 4-6 units of flagellin.
- The films are conductive and allow allocation of electrochemically active Cyt C.
