Electrical conductors and methods of conducting ions using calsequestrin proteins

Abstract

An in vitro electrical conductor is provided. The in vitro electrical conductor may include a plurality of Calsequestrin (CSQ) protein molecules. The CSQ protein molecules may be connected to form a tendril, a network structure, or a biological tunnel structure. An electrical device including the in vitro electrical conductor is provided. An ionic transistor including the in vitro electrical conductor is provided. An in vitro method of conducting ions from an ion source to an ion sink is further provided. The method may include providing an electrical conductor including a plurality of CSQ protein molecules and conducting ions through the electrical conductor to the ion sink. The CSQ protein molecules may be connected to form a tendril, a network structure, or a biological tunnel structure.
