Abstract

A novel exploration utilizing a well-designed fusion protein containing a redox stimuli-responsive domain was developed to construct dynamic protein self-assemblies induced by cucurbit{[}8] uril-based supramolecular interactions. The reversible interconversion of the morphology of the assemblies between nanowires and nanorings was regulated precisely by redox conditions.
