Exploring novel nano-structures for enzyme immobilization

Duration: 4 weeks (longer in the case of Master thesis)

In this project we will characterize silver nano-pillars (AgNPi), custom tailored in collaboration with Nanomaterial and nanotechnology group from Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, for construction of novel enzyme based biosensors. We will explore surface enhancement and electrochemical response of structurally and functionally different oxidoreductase enzymes attached to AgNPi, employing surface enhanced vibrational spectroscopy and electrochemistry.
