Abstract

In recent years, the development of the nanometer scale sensing device based on a bio-or biomimetic membrane coated on a metallic substrate for use in biosensor, molecular electronics and biomolecular electronics has been a research area of great interest1. A crucial problem tackled in these works is the electrical communication between biological species with metallic electrodes.
