  • Protein matrix for light-initiated electron transfer
    Patent number: 8901069
    Abstract: The present invention provides selective modification of polypeptide sequences with electron transfer moieties. The resulting polypeptide assemblies represent a novel class of electron transfer complexes that are capable of transferring electrons over very long distances at fast rates. These complexes possess unique structural features which enable the production of bioconductors and photoactive probes.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Research Foundation of The City University of New York
    Inventors: Ronald Lee Koder, Andrew Colin Mutter
  • PATTERNED COMPOSITE LIGHT HARVESTING STRUCTURES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING
    Publication number: 20120148454
    Abstract: A light harvesting arrangement includes a conductive layer defining a plurality of cavities through the conductive layer. Each cavity has a lateral cross-sectional dimension in a range of 25 nanometers to 3000 nanometers and the cavities are configured and arranged to preferentially capture light in a wavelength band. The light harvesting arrangement also includes a light utilizing material disposed on the walls of the cavities or within one or more light receiving structures that receives light from the cavities (or both). The light utilizing material is configured and arranged to absorb light captured by the cavities.
