Cyanine Dye Coupling Mediates Self-assembly of a pH Sensitive Peptide into Novel 3D Architectures
- A conjugated Cy5 dye-peptide system reveals the formation of two novel and structurally distinct supramolecular assemblies with photo-physical characteristics of H-type dimers or tetramers, respectively. The molecular ultrastructures are triggered by the complementary interplay of mutual chromophore coupling and pH induced changes in the peptide charge pattern.
