Abstract

Abstract : Globular proteins are promising carriers for hydrophobic photosensitizers. In the depicted case, hypericin spontaneously binds to apomyoglobin, in a site located within the hydrophobic pocket normally hosting the cofactor heme. As a result, a biocompatible, self‐assembled photoactive nanostructure is obtained, that is highly effective against several bacteria. (Image created by M. Eugenio Vázquez) Further details can be found in the article by Cormac Hally, Pietro Delcanale. Santi Nonell, Cristiano Viappiani, and Stefania Abbruzzetti (e201900031 ).
