Janus metal-organic layer functioning as a biomimetic photosynthetic reaction center

In the February issue of Chem, Hu, Wang, and coworkers synthesized a Janus metal-organic layer that can be embedded into lipid bilayer membranes, undergoes photo-induced charge transfer, and facilitates active H+ transport and subsequent ATP synthesis by CF0F1-ATP synthase in liposomes.
