Abstract

Abstract A myoglobin–cadmium telluride quantum dot (QD) conjugate was constructed via supramolecular host–guest interactions between a cyclodextrin molecule attached on QD and an adamantyl group covalently linked to the heme. Irradiation of the supramolecular myoglobin–cadmium telluride conjugate generated a photoreduced ferrous myoglobin species via an electron transfer from the photoexcited quantum dot, leading to the formation of CO-bound myoglobin under a CO atmosphere.
