title: Effect of microtubule polymerization on photoinduced hydrogen generation.
abstract: Herein we report a novel reaction field for photoinduced H2 generation by using microtubules as a medium. By controlling the tubulin/microtubule hierarchical structure, synergistic effects by which the Ru(bpy)3(2+)-conjugated microtubule network causes suppression of energy loss by collision are clarified.
