Amyloid-Like Structures Formed by Azobenzene Peptides: Light-Triggered Disassembly

Figure 1

Absorption of the aggregated peptide (incubation time 7 days) in trans- (a) and transient absorption changes of this sample recorded on the time scale of minutes after 1 min UV illumination (c). Absorbance changes following UV excitation and trans- to cis-isomerization of highly aggregated peptides (incubation time 17 days) recorded on the time scale of ns (b).
