Derivatives of an α-amino acid with two azobenzene side chains self-assemble into vesicular structures that undergo morphological transitions upon light irradiation (see scheme). This is the first example of photoresponsive vesicle-like supramolecular structures formed exclusively by peptides or derivatized amino acids.

Abstract
Derivatives of an α-amino acid with two azobenzene side chains self-assemble into vesicular structures that undergo morphological transitions upon light irradiation (see scheme). This is the first example of photoresponsive vesicle-like supramolecular structures formed exclusively by peptides or derivatized amino acids. The entrapment and subsequent light-induced release of functionalized gold nanoparticles are also shown.
