Abstract:Self‐assembly of designed molecules has enabled the construction of a variety of functional nanostructures. Specifically, adaptable self‐assembly has demonstrated several advantageous features for smart materials. Here, we demonstrate that an α‐helical coiled coil conjugated with a dendrimer can adapt to spatial restriction due to the strong steric repulsion between dendrimer chains. The adaptable transformation of a tetrameric coiled coil to a trimeric coiled coil can be confirmed using analytical ultracentri… Show more
