Our results demonstrate that this approach can be used to develop molecular switches to control the folding and β-sheet formation of amyloidogenic peptides.amyloid beta-peptidesbeta-sheet structureneurodegenerative diseasephotocleavage linkerprotein foldingtext::journal::journal article::research article
