Protein-aggregating ability of different protoporphyrin-IX nanostructures is dependent on their oxidation and protein-binding capacity

Porphyrias are rare blood disorders caused by genetic defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway and are associated with the accumulation of high levels of porphyrins that become cytotoxic. Porphyrins, due to their amphipathic nature, spontaneously associate into different nanostructures, but very lit...
