A monomolecular layer of ferritin molecules was formed by adsorption from the subphase onto a Langmuir film of an amphiphilic beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) derivative at the air/water interface. The course of the adsorption of ferritin molecules was monitored by measuring the surface pressure and the resulting film was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These results show the potential of the amphiphilic CD derivative to work as a milder template for protein molecules at the air/water interface.
