Definite coordination arrangement of organometallic palladium complexes accumulated on the designed interior surface of apo-ferritin

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jan 7;47(1):170-2. doi: 10.1039/c0cc02221g. Epub 2010 Aug 23.

Abstract

Apo-ferritin (apo-Fr) mutants are used as scaffolds to accommodate palladium (allyl) complexes. Various coordination arrangements of the Pd complexes are achieved by adjusting the positions of cysteine and histidine residues on the interior surface of the apo-Fr cage.
