Inspired by the hierarchical chiral assembly of porphyrin-proteins in photosynthetic systems, the hierarchical self-assembly of porphyrin-amino acids/peptides provides a novel strategy for constructing functional materials. How to artificially simulate the assembly of porphyrins, proteins, and other cofactors in the photosynthesis system to obtain persistent strong light capture, charge separation and catalytic reactions has become an important concern in the construction of biomimetic photosynthesis systems. This paper summarizes the different assembly strategies adopted in recent years, the effects of driving forces on self-assembly, and the application of porphyrin-peptides in catalysis and biomedicine, and briefly discusses the challenges and prospects for future research.
受光合作用系统中卟啉-蛋白质的分级手性组装的启发，卟啉-氨基酸/肽的分级自组装为构建功能材料提供了一种新策略。如何人工模拟光合作用系统中卟啉、蛋白质和其他辅助因子的组装，以获得持久的强光捕获、电荷分离和催化反应，已成为仿生光合作用系统构建的一个重要关注点。本文总结了近年来采用的不同组装策略、驱动力对自组装的影响以及卟啉-肽在催化和生物医学中的应用，并简要讨论了未来研究的挑战和前景。
