Abstract
alpha-Helical poly(L-alanine) grafted onto porous silica particles wit h a reactive terminal trimethoxysilyl group showed a specific shape-se lective retention for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, recognizing th eir molecular linearities and slenderness. This selectivity is derived from the carbonyl groups on the rigid secondary structure and thus th e poly(L-leucine) derivative having bulky residual groups showed almos t no similar selectivity.
