Abstract
The synergetic combination of the distinct properties of azobenzene and bile acid could afford stable tweezer-like conformation with tunable hydrophilic and hydrophobic channels, thus increasing their antimicrobial activity toward both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which can be conveniently switched off when the conformation turn back to the extended state.
