A novel method for two-dimensionally arraying ferritin on a substrate is
provided which obviates the need for a metal ion that permits linking
between adjacent two ferritin particles. In a method of two-dimensionally
arraying ferritin on a substrate, the surface of the substrate is
hydrophilic, and the method includes the steps of: developing a solution
containing a solvent and the ferritin on the substrate; and removing the
solvent from the solution developed on the substrate, while the ferritin
has an amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 1 modified at its
N-terminus.
