Peptide Secondary Structure Modulates Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Fluorescence as a Chaperone Sensor for Nitroaromatics

A class of peptides from the bombolitin family, not previously identified for nitroaromatic recognition, allows near-infrared fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes to transduce specific changes in their conformation. In response to the binding of specific nitroaromatic species, such peptide–nan...
