Carbon Nanotubes: A Review on Structure and Their Interaction with Proteins
Table 7
Structural studies of protein immobilized onto carbon nanotubes.
| Protein | Nanomaterial | Spectroscopic techniques | Results | Reference |
| Albumin Lysozyme | SWCNTs | Circular dichroism Vis-Near IR | The protein are partially unfolded upon immobilization | [110] |
| Cytochrome c | MWCNT/poly (amidoamine)/chitosan | UV-Vis | No structural changes upon immobilization | [174] |
| Amyloglucosidase | SWCNTs, MWCNTs (in combination of coupling agents) | Circular dichroism
| Enzyme retains its structure when physically adsorbed. However, covalent attachment leads to significant loss of structure. | [187] |
| Horseradish peroxidase | SWCNTs | Circular dichroism and fluorescence | Enzyme retain high percentage of their native structure when immobilized. | [113] |
