Azobenzene-helical peptide conjugate: Electronic structure and photoisomerization in solution and on surface
A novel helical peptide derivative with an intervening azobenzene unit was synthesized, and the effects of the peptide segments on the electronic properties of the azobenzene unit, immobilization on solid Surfaces, and photoisomerization in solution and on surface were studied.
