Title: Emulating photosynthetic processes with light harvesting synthetic protein (maquette) assemblies on titanium dioxide

Abstract

The first working artificial photosynthetic photoanode using a light harvesting maquette, a synthetic protein with a metalloporphyrin ligated to it, has been fabricated that generates remarkably high photocurrent for a protein-based device.
