Abstract
Controlling a coil-to-helix transition in peptide–polymer conjugates with soft stimuli requires the careful balancing of stabilizing and destabilizing effects in the peptide segment. The transition between two secondary structures of a bioconjugate is realized using calcium ions to establish a biomimetic control mechanism. Regulation of Ca2+-ion levels via competitive Ca2+-ion binders made the process reversible.
