Use of Protein Engineering to Elucidate Electron Transfer Pathways between Proteins and Electrodes
Itay Algov, Lital Alfonta
Abstract
Herein, we review protein engineering tools for electron transfer enhancement and investigation in bioelectrochemical systems. We present recent studies in the field while focusing on how electron transfer investigation and measurements were performed and discuss the use of protein engineering to interpret electron transfer mechanisms.
