A gas-phase surface sol–gel process was developed for facile preparation of ultrathin TiO2 gel/Cyt. c multilayered films. Positively charged Cyt. c protein was alternately assembled with TiO2 gel layer that was prepared by deposition of Ti(O–nBu)4 vapor and subsequent hydrolysis. The adsorbed Cyt. c molecule was covered with a 0.7-nm thick layer of TiO2 gel and the protein characteristics were preserved without denaturation in the multilayered film.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
