Dynamic surface activity by folding and unfolding an amphiphilic alpha-helix

We describe a rationally designed peptide with tunable surface activity, where the dynamics of surface activity are an outcome of helical folding. Our rationally designed model peptide is surface-active only as an alpha-helix. We apply circular dichroism to show that the folded population can be con...
