Designing metal sites into *de novo* proteins has significantly improved. This study reports the crystal structure of a designed 28-residue tetra-thiolate metal-binding protein, showing sub-Å agreement with the intended design. Its high reduction potential allows it to function as a terminal electron acceptor in a fully artificial visible-light-triggered electron chain.
