Ferrocene peptides conjugates: Exploring structural diversity in solution and on surfaces
FY 2010-11
Summary
The overall thrust of our research program is aimed at developing the chemistry of bioorganometallic peptide conjugates with a focus on understanding their structural properties in solution and how they relate to structural properties when supported on surfaces. In this research program, the focus is on the preparation and characterization of peptide conjugates of ferrocenes and explore them as
a) ) models for peptide structural motifs which will ultimately help our understanding of protein folding
b) ) bio-derived materials with predictable electronic properties that will help us to design circuitry derived from biological molecules and aid in the design of biosensors for the detection of diseases
c) ) tools for the design of the active site of metallo-proteins and metallo-enzymes
