Figure 2. Carton showing the integration of a substituted metallophthalocyanine (MPc) complex onto a self-assembled single-walled carbon nanotube. The substitutent R could either be terminal hydroxyl (-OH) group forming an ester bond, or amino (-NH2) group forming an amide bond.

Metallic nanoparticles and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exhibit nanoscale dimensions comparable with the dimensions of redox proteins. This enables the construction of NP-enzyme or SWCNT-enzyme hybrids that combine the unique conductivity features of the nanoelements with the biocatalytic redox properties of the enzymes, to yield wired bioelectrocatalyts with large electrode surface areas. Indeed, substantial advances in nanobiotechnology were achieved by the integration of redox enzymes with nanoelements and the use of the hybrid systems in different bioelectronic devices.35...
