Photochemical properties of a myoglobin–CdTe quantum dot conjugate

Abstract

A myoglobincadmium telluride quantum dot conjugate was constructed using an artificial heme modified with a thiol moiety as a linker. Irradiation of the myoglobin–cadmium telluride conjugate generated the photoreduced ferrous myoglobin via an electron transfer from the photoexcited quantum dot, leading to the formation of CO-bound myoglobin under a CO atmosphere.
