Key takeaways
  1. 01Proteins have traditionally been regarded as electrical insulators
  2. 02A recent discovery challenges this established belief
  3. 03Single protein molecules may actually be strong electrical conductors

Contrary to long-held beliefs, new research suggests single protein molecules may be strong electrical conductors, not insulators.

Abstract

Traditionally, single protein molecules have been widely regarded as electrical insulators. A recent discovery overturns this belief, pointing to proteins as strong electrical conductors.
