Association and guest-induced dissociation of a novel alpha-helix peptide bearing pyrene and gamma-cyclodextrin in the side chains
A designed a-helix peptide, gamma-PR17, which bears gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) and pyrene units, exhibits both monomer and excimer emissions, indicating that: gamma-PR17 forms an association dimer that could be dissociated upon addition of hyodeoxycholic acid as a guest for gamma-CD.
