Ordering Transitions in Thermotropic Liquid Crystals Induced by the Interfacial Assembly and Enzymatic Processing of Oligopeptide Amphiphiles

Ordering Transitions in Thermotropic Liquid Crystals Induced by the Interfacial Assembly and Enzymatic Processing of Oligopeptide Amphiphiles

A method leading to the preparation of oligopeptide‐decorated interfaces of liquid crystals is presented. The formation of the oligopeptide‐modified interface of the liquid crystal is accompanied by an orientational transition of the liquid crystal, and thus can be visually followed. Processing of t...

Zusammenfassung:A method leading to the preparation of oligopeptide‐decorated interfaces of liquid crystals is presented. The formation of the oligopeptide‐modified interface of the liquid crystal is accompanied by an orientational transition of the liquid crystal, and thus can be visually followed. Processing of the oligopeptide by an enzyme also results in an orientational transition.
