title: Design of novel porphyrin-binding peptides based on antibody CDR.
abstract: Novel porphyrin-binding peptides were designed on the basis of an antigen binding site of an antiheme monoclonal antibody. Synthetic peptides were modified with a pyrene moiety. The spectroscopic measurements revealed that the synthetic peptides bound a porphyrin effectively.
