Abstract

Microperoxidase 11 was adsorbed on Au(111) from basic aqueous solutions containing pure heme peptide and co-added stoichiometric amounts of exogenous neutral and ionic ligands. The addition of small molecules to MP11 produced different aggregate structures that were easily differentiated by STM. In the absence of a complexing agent, the MP-11 formed large clusters of metallopeptide molecules on the gold surface. With neutral imidazole in solution the MP11 aggregated into regular elongated structures (nano-épis) on the substrate. When S(2-) is used as coupling agent, single heme peptide molecules are isolated with identifiable porphyrin ring and substructure in the peptide chain.
