Supramolecular switching of the self-assembly of cyclic peptide–polymer conjugates via host–guest chemistry

Abstract

A supramolecular strategy of switching the self-assembly of cyclic peptide–polymer conjugates using host–guest chemistry is proposed. The formation of tubular supramolecular polymers based on cyclic peptide–polymer conjugates can be controlled by reversibly attaching cucurbit[7]uril onto the cyclic peptide via host–guest interactions.
