报告摘要：

The immune system has an ability to generate antibodies against virtually any molecule of interest. Recently, much attention has been directed toward antibodies not only in the field of biology but also in the field of chemistry because of their unique structures and functions. With the advent of cell technology, it has become possible to prepare individual immunoglobulins that are called “monoclonal antibodies” in large amounts and in homogeneous form. We have focused our attention on the special behavior of monoclonal antibodies, because they can recognize a larger and more complex compound with high specificity. We have prepared monoclonal antibodies for artificial molecules such as porphyrins and transition metal complexes to construct supramolecular materials and to use these complexes in catalytic and energy conversion systems. This presentation highlights recent advances in our study of functionalization of supramolecular complexes by hybridization of transition metal complexes with biomolecules such as antibodies and apo-proteins.
