The mechanism of long-range charge transport across tunneling junctions with monolayers of ferritin is investigated. It is shown that the mechanism can be switched between coherent tunneling, sequential tunneling, and hopping by changing the iron content inside the ferritin. This study shows that ferritins are an interesting class of biomolecules to control charge transport.
研究了通过铁蛋白单层跨越隧道结的远程电荷传输机制。结果表明，通过改变铁蛋白内部的铁含量，该机制可以在相干隧穿、顺序隧穿和跳跃之间切换。这项研究表明，铁蛋白是一类用于控制电荷传输的有趣生物分子。
