We report herein a novel approach for reversibly switching the conformation of short constraint a-helical peptides through alkylation of the in-tether thioether and dealkylation of the chiral sulfonium. This traceless redox sensitive tagging strategy broadened our scope of CIH (chirality induced helicity) strategy and provided a valuable approach to functionalize the peptide tether.展开更多
