Improvement of multifunctional bionanoplatforms; biocatalysis and biomemory applications

In this thesis; bionanostructures which have multi faces and functionalities (Janus) have synthesized using apoferritin biomolecules as main structure and embedding of various metal atoms into lattice of this protein. These bionanostructures have obtained using photosensitive amino acid-monomers linkage method (ANADOLUCA). In this study, firstly, the synthesis of nanoapoferritins has achieved in the presence of bis (2-2'-bipyridil) MATyr-MATyr-rutenyum (II) photosensitive monomers by microemulsion. Then, Pt, Fe, Mn, Cu metals and Pt/Cu, Mn/Fe, Pt/Cu/Mn/Fe, Ag/Cu/Mn/Fe metal mixture combinations have organised into lattices of nanoapoferritin nanostructures and these multi functional structures were have characterised. In the last part of the study; the functionality and peroxidase enzyme kinetics of Janus model bionanostructures have proved by electrochemical approaches. Studies of janus nanostructures were analysed. The effect of enzyme and subsrate concentrations on the activity of these bionanostructures have investigated.
