Chain-terminus triggered chiral memory in an optically inactive 3(10)-helical peptide.
A new optically inactive 3(10)-helical peptide with a side-chain cross-linking was found to exhibit chiral memory stored in the peptide backbone, whose chirality was induced by a noncovalent interaction of a chiral molecule at the N-terminal end of the peptide.
