Smart Poly(imidazoyl-l-lysine): Synthesis and Reversible Helix-to-Coil Transition at Neutral pH
Polypeptide polymers can adopt natural protein secondary structures such as α-helices or β-sheets, and this unique feature is at the origin of some intriguing physico–chemical properties. In this work, we present how side chain imidazoylation of a poly(l-lysine) scaffold affords the preparation of p...
