Abstract

A designed fullerene-sugar hybrid effectively and selectively degraded the target protein, HIV-1 protease, which has high affinity for the fullerene moiety; degradation was achieved using long-wavelength UV or visible photo-irradiation, in the absence of any additives and under neutral conditions.
