Multifunctional peptide-polymer hybrid materials have been applied as efficient and biocompatible quantum-dot coating materials. Significant pH responsiveness (e.g., an influence of the pH on the quantum yields of the peptide-polymer/QDs) was found and is attributed to conformational rearrangements of the peptide backbone.
