“…44 The observed steady-state photocurrents are at the pA level (B0.2-40 pA cm À2 ML À1 ). These values are comparable to the steady-state photocurrent, associated with proton transport, of a bR monolayer (B0.6 pA ML À1 ; contact area unknown 45 ). That result was obtained from solution-phase cyclic I-V dependencies of a bR monolayer, incorporated in a planar bilayer lipid membrane, under both dark and light conditions.…”

“…That result was obtained from solution-phase cyclic I-V dependencies of a bR monolayer, incorporated in a planar bilayer lipid membrane, under both dark and light conditions. 45 In a hybrid bR/quantum dots (QDs) bio-nanosystem of thin films, prepared by electrophoretic sedimentation (of unspecified thickness), QDs play the role of a secondary, in situ nanoscale light source. 46 With the assistance of the QDs' fluorescence, single wavelength blue light illumination was found to induce an B40 nA cm À2 stationary photocurrent through the films.…”

Interfacing functional proteins with solid supports for device applications is a promising route to possible applications in bio-electronics, -sensors, and -optics. Various possible applications of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) have been explored and reviewed since the discovery of bR. This tutorial review discusses bR as a medium for biomolecular optoelectronics, emphasizing ways in which it can be interfaced, especially as a thin film, solid-state current-carrying electronic element.
