Power through protein?

A discovery at Arizona State University has refuted the established belief that proteins are inert organic matter and, as such, are poor conductors of electricity. Researchers at the university have found a protein that can conduct electricity as efficiently as a metal, a finding that offers potential for powerful new medical diagnostic tools.

switch the electrical conductivity of a protein molecule on and off.

A statement from Arizona State University said that Lindsay’s research could potentially transform the way science understands the electrical properties of proteins, and might also prompt research to probe the quantummechanical nature of proteins.

Lead researcher Stuart Lindsay and his team have also tested a device that can
