Abstract
The cis ⇌ trans photoisomerization of the azobenzene building block 4‐(4‐aminophenylazo)benzoic acid incorporated in a cyclic peptide (see scheme) facilitated a two‐state transition of the peptide chain from a rigid constrained conformation in the trans isomer into the largely free conformational space of the cis isomer.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
