Effects of incorporation of azido moieties into the hydrophobic core of coiled coil peptides

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 4;51(18):3793-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc09089f.

Abstract

The secondary structure of the coiled coil peptides was regulated by altering the azido content at the hydrophobic core. These peptides were further investigated to form higher-order assemblies presumably via azido-mediated interactions.
