Abstract

The rodlike M13 viruses with chemically decorated phenylboronic acid moieties form pH responsive chiral nematic liquid crystal (LC) phases. Binding with biologically important diols results in LC phases with microstructures that closely correlate with the molecular structure of the diols and can be conveniently discerned by visual cues.
