11. Self-assembly is a very interesting tool for the implementation of molecular devices and can be defined as the recognition and the sub-sequent self-organization of different elements, without any external source of information about the structure to be formed, as the total free energy of the system is minimized to result in a more stable state.

16. The unfolding process results in a large solvent exposure of hydro-phobic residues that were shielded in the core of the protein in its native state.
17. We call our protein device a field-effect transistor since we exploit a field effect to modulate the resistance of the protein monolayer and change the I-V characteristics of the device.
18. -1 in about 40% of the space. Thus, it seems reasonable that the fold pattern of the biased proteins is also unperturbed by the electric field in the device, which is lower.
19. More than 10 devices fabricated in different times and measured in different conditions exhibited ET. The shape of the characteristics remained the same when the integrations and the delay times were changed.

28. For example, with 50 chains the maximum current is 35 pA. We remark that the number of active chains actually present in the experimental device is difficult to determine, but 50 chains (corresponding to approx. 2500 proteins, which is already computationally very demanding) is actually a conservative estimate.
