Zinc-dysprosium functionalized amyloid fibrils

Dalton Trans. 2019 Oct 22;48(41):15371-15375. doi: 10.1039/c9dt01134j.

Abstract

The heterometallic Zn2Dy2 entity bearing partially saturated metal centres covalently decorates a highly ordered amyloid fibril core and the functionalised assembly exhibits catalytic Lewis acid behaviour.
