Directed Denaturation: Room Temperature and Stoichiometric Unfolding of Cytochrome c by a Metalloporphyrin Dimer

Abstract
Using circular dichroism, UV−vis, and trypsin proteolysis, we have shown how a metalloporphyrin dimer induces the unfolding of a protein, cytochrome c, under physiologically relevant conditions and accelerates its rate of proteolytic degradation.
