Abstract
The present invention provides for a modified virus, such as a recombinant M13 phage, which in an array, such as a film, is capable of producing piezoelectricity. The modified virus comprises a coat protein can displays a negatively charged amino acid sequence. The present invention provides for a device comprising a piezoelectric element comprising a suitable virus, such as the modified virus, a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is in contact with a first electrode and the second surface is in contact with a second electrode, wherein when pressure is applied to the film, the film is capable of generating an electric current. The present invention provides for a method of making the device, and a method for generating electricity using the device.
