title: Fast, long-range electron-transfer reactions of a "blue" copper protein coupled non-covalently to an electrode through a stilbenyl thiolate monolayer.
abstract: A self-assembled monolayer (SAM), formed by the insitu saponification of a stilbenyl thioacetate on a gold electrode, yields fast electron transfer (ET)(the exchange rate at zero driving force exceeds 1600 s-1) with adsorbed molecules of the blue copper protein, azurin, over a distance exceeding 15 angstroms .
