A Photoresponsive Artificial Viral Capsid Self-Assembled from an Azobenzene-Containing <i>β</i>-Annulus Peptide

A Photoresponsive Artificial Viral Capsid Self-Assembled from an Azobenzene-Containing <i>β</i>-Annulus Peptide

Photoinduced structural changes in peptides can dynamically control the formation and dissociation of supramolecular peptide materials. However, the existence of photoresponsive viral capsids in nature remains unknown. In this study, we constructed an artificial viral capsid possessing a photochromi...
