Funded Activity Summary

Design and Synthesis of Photoactive Peptides Based on Photosynthetic Reaction Centres. The aim of this proposal is to generate new and useful electron transfer components for biotechnological applications. We plan to design and synthesize artificial photoactive peptides inspired from natural photosynthetic reaction centres which capture the energy of light and convert it into usable forms of chemical energy. Our research will provide the ground work for the development of light-driven oxidation-reduction catalysts that can be used in the production of clean fuels and chemical products.
