Light-induced unfolding and refolding of supramolecular polymer nanofibres

Light-induced unfolding and refolding of supramolecular polymer nanofibres

Dynamically controlling the conformations of 1D elongated supramolecular polymers can induce functions comparable to protein folding/unfolding. Here the authors show light-induced conformational changes of azobenzene-based supramolecular polymers from helically coiled to extended/randomly coiled con...
