Response speed control of helicity inversion based on a "regulatory enzyme"-like strategy.

ABSTRACT: In biological systems, there are many signal transduction cascades in which a chemical signal is transferred as a series of chemical events. Such successive reaction systems are advantageous because the efficiency of the functions can be finely controlled by regulatory enzymes at an earlier stage. However, most of artificial responsive molecules developed so far rely on single-step conversion, whose response speeds have been difficult to be controlled by external stimuli. In this context, developing artificial conversion systems that have a regulation step similar to the regulatory enzymes has been anticipated. Here we report a novel artificial two-step structural conversion system in which the response speed can be controlled based on a regulatory enzyme-like strategy. In this system, add
