Photocatalytic hydrogen generation using a protein-coated photosensitizer with anionic patches and a monocationic electron mediator.
A reconstituted myoglobin with a synthetic cofactor having anionic binding sites effectively works as a photocatalyst for hydrogen generation in the presence of monomethylated bipyridinium.
