[Object] To provide a method of controlling a conductivity type of a protein semiconductor, which is capable of easily controlling a conductivity type of a protein semiconductor, a method of manufacturing a protein semiconductor using this, and a method of manufacturing a pn junction. [Solving Means] A conductivity type of a protein semiconductor is controlled by controlling total amount of charge in amino acid residues, a p-type protein semiconductor or an n-type protein semiconductor is manufactured, and a pn junction is manufactured using the p-type protein semiconductor and the n-type protein semiconductor. The total amount of charge in amino acid residues is controlled by substituting one or more of an acidic amino acid residue, a basic amino acid residue, and a neutral amino acid residue, which are contained in protein, with an amino acid residue having different properties, chemically modifying one or more of an acidic amino acid residue, a basic amino acid residue, and a neutral amino acid residue, which are contained in the protein, or controlling polarity of a medium surrounding the protein. |
