Light Sensor Platform Based on the Integration of Bacteriorhodopsin with a Single Electron Transistor

This paper reports on the integration of an optical protein with single electron transistors to form a nano-bio-hybrid device for sensing. Bacteriorhodopsin (bR) is an optoelectric protein that translocates a proton across a distance of several nanometers in response to an absorbed photon of inciden...
