Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Azurin is a metalloprotein of 14 kDa with copper ion in its active site. Protein film formation onto the substrate was performed by the self-assembly technique. In order to make molecule assembled layer onto the gold substrate, Azurin was cross-linked with N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridyldithio)-propionate (SPDP). SPDP have both a -thiol group to assembly with gold substrate and a linking part to assembly with protein. We detected optimized condition to make a protein film using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The surface structure of adsorbed Azurin film onto the gold surface was analyzed by scanning tunneling microscope (STM).
