Construction of α-helical peptide dendrimers conjugated with multi- metalloporphyrins: photoinduced electron transfer on dendrimer architecture

Abstract

Noncovalent assembly of Zn^II–mesoporphyrin IX was accomplished by coordination to α-helical peptides (4–64 segments) based on polyamideamine dendrimer; the electron transfer functions were expressed more effectively with the growth of the dendrimer generation.
