Keywords: amphipol; bacteriorhodopsin; bio-hybrid; gas sensing; ITO; ZnO nanostructure; Introduction Nanomaterial–biomolecule conjugates have emerged into one of the most rapidly developing and sought after areas in modern biomolecular device fabrication and

• biological activity after immobilization on solid supports and exhibits charge transport in thin films [8][14][15]. These properties have attracted researchers for the development of novel bio-hybrid devices [5][7][16][17][18][19]. Hybrids of bR protein with various metal/metal oxides (e.g., Au, Ag, TiO2
