All connected : A protein‐immobilized electrode comprising hierarchical assemblies of photoactive cytochrome  b 562 reconstituted with zinc protoporphyrin IX exhibits remarkably enhanced photocurrent generation relative to an electrode bearing a single zinc‐substituted hemoprotein layer. The protein oligomers, which bear a covalently linked protoporphyrin group, assemble by a supramolecular heme/heme pocket interaction.
