Abstract
Langmuir-Blodgett films of different proteins, such as immunoglobuline , thioredoxin, cytochrome P450 and bacteriorhodopsin were deposited. T he structure of the films was studied by synchrotron X-ray scattering. It was found that thermal treatment of the films, performed after dep ositing each successive monolayer, results in a pronounced increase of the film order. Bragg reflections were registered for films thus prep ared for all the proteins investigated. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
