Molecular assembly of zinc bachteriochlorophyll a by synthetic hydrophobic 1 alpha-helix polypeptides
Synthetic 1 alpha-helix hydrophobic polypeptides organized zinc bachteriochlorophyll a (Zn-BChl a) complex in n-octyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (OG) micelle analogous to the light-harvesting (LH) polypeptide complex of photosynthetic bacteria.
