A Supramolecular Assembly Based on an Engineered Hemoprotein Exhibiting a Thermal Stimulus-driven Conversion to a New Distinct Supramolecular Structure
Overview
Affiliations
Supramolecular assembly of an engineered hemoprotein with an externally-attached heme moiety via an azobenzene or stilbene linker demonstrates drastic structural transitions between two distinct forms: the thermodynamically stable fiber-type assembly and the kinetically trapped metastable micelle-type assembly induced by transient thermal stimulus.
