Abstract

We describe template-assisted synthesis of protein nanotube arrays immobilized on solid substrates (e.g., glass plate) using a nanoporous polycarbonate membrane and the arrays’ molecule-trapping capabilities in aqueous medium. The uniform array of human serum albumin-based nanotubes bearing an avidin surface interior captured efficiently fluorescein-labeled biotin in water.
