title: Spiropyran-linked dipeptide forms supramolecular hydrogel with dual responses to light and to ligand-receptor interaction.
abstract: Integration of photo-sensitive spiropyran with dipeptide d-Ala-d-Ala in one small molecule resulted in a hydrogelator which can form supramolecular hydrogel with responses not only to light but to ligand-receptor interaction.
