Applications of BBa_K638202

The purified his-tagged Reflectin A1 has optical properties, best viewed when made into a thin film. First the protein must be dissolved in an ionic solvent such as HFIP (hazardous - use in a fume hood) and then can be coated onto a highly clean smooth substrate. Silicon Wafers and glass microscope slides have been shown to work, a razorblade can be used to scrape across a single drop to form a thin film, but more uniform results can be achieved with the use of a flow coater or a spin coater device.

The original method for making reflectin thin films was developed by [http://www.nature.com/nmat/journal/v6/n7/full/nmat1930.html Kramer et al.]
