Abstract
Novel articles are provided comprising at least one polymerized surfactant layer and at least one protein layer specifically bound to the surfactant layer. Depending upon the nature of the preparation of the layers, the layers may be formed as a plurality of substantially parallel layers, filaments, tubes, helices or other complex assembly. The articles may be used for improved determination of protein structure, electronic devices, enzyme reactors and in biosensors. Improved methods are provided for electron microscopic analysis of proteins.
