Deskripsi
Chiral communication can propagate in secondary structures within the effective intermolecular force (IMF) range but it is not known whether long-range chiral communication exists between tertiary peptide structures. Here, the authors use single-molecule force spectroscopy to investigate chiral interaction between DNA duplexes/triplexes and peptide coiled-coils and demonstrate chiral communication beyond the IMF distance.
