Many of these processes involve charge transfer. We hypothesized that by utilizing De-Novo design approach, the unique properties of proteins can be exploited in the fabrication of novel electronic materials. Thus far we have tested this hypothesis using two common protein motifs, <a href=\"http:\/\/nurit.local\/a-helix\/\">\u03b1-helix<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/nurit.local\/nanotubes\/\">\u03b2-sheet<\/a>, as building blocks for the design of synthetic proteins. In such designs the synthesized peptides self-assembled and fold into a desired functional material structure.
