Incorporation of globin enzymes with redoxfunctions in silicamaterials for biosensor and biocatalysis applications.

2 different globin enzymes will be incorporated in mesporous silicamaterials in this project. These 2 globins are neuroglobin and globin 26 of the nematode C. elegans and have en known redoxfunction. The incorporation of these globins wil be studies with spectroscopical techniques such as electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and resonance Raman spectroscopy (RRS). Further we will work out an EPR-based methodology in order to study the effect of incorporation of enzymes in matrices.
