Probing the reaction of membrane proteins via infrared spectroscopies, plasmonics and electrochemistry

Abstract Spectroelectrochemistry, in combination with plasmonic approaches and infrared spectroscopy, has emerged as a powerful tool in the study of membrane protein redox reactions, both for immobilized monolayer samples and those reintroduced into their native environment. Here the use of nanostructured electrodes for surface enhanced spectroelectrochemistry are discussed.
