Objective
BiHyOMat is an ambitious research project at the interface of chemistry, physics and biology, with the aim to produce high-end optoelectronic materials. To this end, the project will take advantage of the co-crystallization of toroidal proteins and photosensitizers into monodimensional self-assemblies by means of electrostatic interactions, being a field where the hosting group is playing a pioneer role. By means of pH, temperature and electrolyte control, different proteins and dyes will be conjugated to a wide variety of materials with different stabilities and optical properties. Peroxiredoxin, an ubiquitous protein with a wide selection of isoelectric points has been selected as protein scaffold of the columnar stacks, along with a selection of charged phthalocyanines and porphyrins playing a dual role as molecular glue and photoactive moieties. The latter group will be obtained through collaborations, commercial sources or synthesized by the candidate.The resulting materials will be thoroughly characterized by a broad selection of techniques, including cryo-TEM, SAXS and time-resolved spectroscopy. Additionally, the spectroscopic properties arising from the anisotropic array of dyes into this well-defined structure will be thoroughly explored. Furthermore, the resulting tubular arrays will be conjugated supramolecularly with magnetic nanoparticles, endowing them with magnetoresponsive behaviour. Finally, the tubular aggregates, presenting a well-defined inner pore, will be employed as nanoreactors to synthesize finely tuned rod-like nanoparticles, taking advantage of the hollow structure of the stacks.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
