Towards multiporphyrinic alpha-helices with a polypeptidic backbone as system endowed with light harvesting capabilities.
Starting from a porphyrin functionalized derivative of the L-lysine, three peptides, bearing, respectively, two, four, and eight chromophores, were synthesized using an iterative synthetic strategy based on the choice of mild conditions for the deprotection steps.
