Paper
A sphere-to-bridge-shaped peptide nanostructure was constructed from a tyrosine-rich peptide (H-YYACAYY-OH) via mediating Pd2+ ions as well as changing temperature. This novel assembly technique provided a recyclable Pd nano-catalyst with a function of reversible thermal phase transition between the homogeneous and heterogeneous states for cross-coupling reactions.
