Dynamic Surface Activity by Folding and Unfolding an Amphiphilic α-Helix

[Image: see text] 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 α-helix. We apply circular dichroism to show that the folded populat...
