Abstract

Higher-order assembly of ferritins has been achieved on copper substrate by introducing cysteines on their surfaces with thiol groups as the active moiety. To elucidate the assembly mechanism, Raman spectroscopy was utilized to characterize the interaction between the copper substrate and the modified ferritin, AfFtnAA/E94C. The resulting higher-order architecture shows enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction activity.
