Abstract
A synthetic enzyme is reported that electrocatalytically reduces protons to hydrogen (H2) in water near neutral pH under aerobic conditions. Cobalt mimochrome VI*a (CoMC6*a) is a mini-protein with a cobalt deuteroporphyrin active site within a scaffold of two synthetic peptides covalently …
