Exploring the Thiol (-SH)/Metal Interface
Keywords:
Cysteine, thiol bond, photoelectron spectroscopyAbstract
L-cysteine is one of the promising amino-acid that has drawn an immense interest in bio-electronics applications. Through multiple functional groups, it acts as a linker between proteins of biomolecules and metal electrodes of inorganic metals. Hence the interaction between metal and L-cysteine considered to be an area that a greater understanding is required. Photoelectron spectroscopic methods have been successfully used to resolve electronic configurations at these interfaces. When using these spectroscopic methods, it starts with thin films at around 1 - 2 angstroms and then reaching bulky layers so that the change of interaction is revealed through photoelectron kinetic energy. In many cases single crystals and in some cases poly-crystals of metals. Here we review metal-cysteine interaction through the thiol (-SH) and noble metal bond in brief.
