Peptides recognize photoresponsive targets.
Clones on film: 7-mer peptides that bind to azobenzene-containing polymer films were selected from a phage library under visible light. Isolated clones showed greater affinities to the films under ultraviolet light than those under visible light. Furthermore, the peptide binding responds to the photoinduced isomerization of azobenzene groups.
