A pH-responsive rolled-sheet morphology was prepared from a triskelion A(2)B-type amphiphilic polypeptide having a histidine residue as a pH-responsive unit. The dimensions of the rolled sheet were 85 nm diameter and 210 nm length with a sheet turn number of 2.0 at pH 7.4. Upon decreasing the pH from 7.4 to 5.0, the layer spacing of the rolled sheets was widened from ca. 9 to ca. 19 nm due to electrostatic repulsion caused by histidine protonation. This morphology change occurred reversibly with a pH change between 7.4 and 5.0. The molecular packing in the rolled sheets was shown to be loosened at pH 5.0 on the basis of electron diffraction measurements. The tightness of the rolled sheets was thus controlled reversibly by a pH change due to a single protonation in the amphiphilic polypeptide.
