Purification and preparation of Rhodobacter sphaeroides reaction centers for photocurrent measurements and atomic force microscopy characterization

Summary: The formation of defined surfaces consisting of photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) in biohybrid solar cells is challenging. Here, we start with the production of engineered RCs for oriented binding. RCs are deposited onto gold electrodes, and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) is used to displac...
