e-Prot

e-Prot project vision encompasses the rational design of efficient conductive protein systems (e-Ps), and the fabrication of all-protein based conductive structures and materials, targeting a radical change in design of green electronic and energy storage devices.

This breakthrough relies on a multidisciplinary scientific approach that includes a profound understanding of protein building blocks; biomolecular design principles and state-of-the-art synthetic biology, and chemical tools, to systematically fabricate new protein materials. At the same time cutting-edge characterization techniques and computational models will provide an unprecedented fundamental understanding of protein conduction thus building a solid foundation for their technological implementation.
