title: Conformations of a model protein revealed by an aggregating Cu(II) porphyrin: sensing the difference.
abstract: Aggregated t-CuP binds to poly-L-glutamate through supramolecular interactions, revealing itself to be an extremely sensitive probe for the major conformations of the polymeric scaffold.
