A new class of surface-immobilized protein nanomachines can be reversibly actuated by cycling the solution pH between 2.5 and 12.3; which induces a conformational change; thereby modulating the thickness of superoxide dismutase (SOD1) tethered to the Au thin film. By placing Au nanoparticles (AuNP) atop the immobilized SOD1 by means of a gold-thiol assembly; the nanoscale motion of SOD1 at the interface produces mechanical work to lift and then lower the AuNP from the Au substrate by a distance of ca. 3 nm and transduces this motion into an easily measurable reflectivity change in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectrum. As-made supported conjugate consisting of SOD1 and AuNP is quite robust and stable; and its operation in response to pH variations; which mirrors the conformational changes of responsive SOD1 at the interface; is found to be highly reversible and reproducible. This is the first demonstration of the development of novel solid-state sensors and/or switching devices based on substrate-bound protein conformational changes and AuNP enhanced SPR spectroscopy. © 2006 American Chemical Society;
