Bioinspired porphyrin–peptide supramolecular assemblies and their applications

Abstract

Inspired by the hierarchical chiral assembly of porphyrin–proteins in photosynthetic systems, the hierarchical self-assembly of porphyrin–amino acids/peptides provides a novel strategy for constructing functional materials. How to artificially simulate the assembly of porphyrins, proteins, and other cofactors in the photosynthesis system to obtain persistent strong light capture, charge separation and catalytic reactions has become an important concern in the construction of biomimetic photosynthesis systems. This paper summarizes the different assembly strategies adopted in recent years, the effects of driving forces on self-assembly, and the application of porphyrin–peptides in catalysis and biomedicine, and briefly discusses the challenges and prospects for future research.
