Abstract

Long-lived photo-driven charge separation is demonstrated by assembling a triad on a protein scaffold. For this purpose, a biotinylated triarylamine was added to a Ru II –streptavidin conjugate bearing a methyl viologen electron acceptor covalently linked to the N -terminus of streptavidin. To improve the rate and lifetime of the electron transfer, a negative patch consisting of up to three additional negatively charged amino acids was engineered through mutagenesis close to the biotin-binding pocket of streptavidin. Time-resolved laser spectroscopy revealed that the covalent attachment and the negative patch were beneficial for charge separation within the streptavidin hosted triad; the charge separated state was generated within the duration of the excitation laser pulse, and lifetimes up to 3120 ns could be achieved with the optimized supramolecular triad.
