Fluorescent hydrogels: Peptide hybrids composed of an oligo(p- phenylenevinylene)-based τ-amino acid and a β-sheet-forming sequence reversibly self-assemble into fluorescent hydrogels upon a change in pH (see graphic). This study highlights how the combination of peptides and π-conjugated oligomers could be a fruitful approach towards the control of self-assembled structures.
