Abstract
- Amicelle-like hybrid natural-artificial light-harvesting nanosystem was prepared through protein-framed electrostatic self-assembly of phycocyanin and a four-armed porphyrin star polymer. The nanosystem has a special structure of pomegranate-like unimolecular micelle aggregate with one phycocyanin acceptor in the center and multiple porphyrin donors in the shell. It can inhibit donor self-quenching effectively and display efficient transfer of excitation energy (about 80.1%) in water. Furthermore, the number of donors contributing to a single acceptor could reach as high as about 179 in this nanosystem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
