ResumoThermoreversible gelation of diblock copolymers of a helical polypeptide, poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) and random-coil polymers such as polyferrocenylsilanes in dilute solution has been discovered (see picture). A new mechanism for self-assembly of block copolymers of helical polypeptides is proposed.
