title: Dual modification of a triple-stranded β-helix nanotube with Ru and Re metal complexes to promote photocatalytic reduction of CO2.
abstract: We have constructed a robust β-helical nanotube from the component proteins of bacteriophage T4 and modified this nanotube with Ru(II)(bpy)(3) and Re(I)(bpy)(CO)(3)Cl complexes. The photocatalytic system arranged on the tube catalyzes the reduction of CO(2) with higher reactivity than that of the mixture of the monomeric forms.
