The photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from the purple Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides bacterium is a protein with unique photoconversion capability that can be exploited in hybrid systems for energy conversion. We have developed a tailored aryleneethynylene organic fluorophore (AE750) acting as efficient light harvesting antenna and successfully bioconjugated it to the photosynthetic RC. We have also demonstrated that, under suitable conditions, the biohybrid AE750-RC system can outperform the energy photoconversion ability of the native protein.

Abstract

The photosynthetic reaction center (RC) from the purple Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides bacterium is a protein with unique photoconversion capability that can be exploited in hybrid systems for energy conversion. We have developed a tailored aryleneethynylene organic fluorophore (AE750) acting as efficient light harvesting antenna and successfully bioconjugated it to the photosynthetic RC. We have also demonstrated that, under suitable conditions, the biohybrid AE750-RC system can outperform the energy photoconversion ability of the native protein.

MRS Advances is a new peer-reviewed online-only journal featuring impactful research presented at MRS Meetings (beginning with manuscripts from the 2015 MRS Fall Meeting). The journal is designed to reflect the way materials researchers work, write, publish and share their results. The MRS Advances editorial board shares editorial leadership with symposium organizers to ensure high-quality content, rapid peer review and publication. Access to MRS Advances is free to all MRS members and by subscription to institutional libraries around the world. All volumes and issues are available via print-on-demand on Cambridge Journals Online, and complete meeting cluster groupings are available in print by pre-publication order at the time of meeting registration only.
