De novo proteins provide a unique opportunity to investigate the structure-function relationships of metalloproteins in a minimal, well-defined and controlled scaffold. Here, we describe the rational programming of function in a de novo designed di-iron carboxylate protein from the Due

A novel light "on-off" photoelectrochemical sensing for the sensitive determination of hydroquinone was developed based on the porphyrin-functionalized Au nanoparticles on graphene (porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were firstly modified onto graphene sheets using NaBH4 as reductant and the porphyrin/AuNPs/graphene nanocomposites
