Abstract

α-Cyclodextrin (α-CD) acts as a photoamplifier if coupled into a photoresponsive system with an elastin-like polypeptide, wherein p-(phenylazo)phenylalanine acts as a light-sensitive switch (see Figure for mechanism). α-CD promotes a tunable offset, gain, and inversion of the photoresponse, and allows operation of micromachines at body or room temperature.
