Tuning to the terminals : Controlled tuning of protein–substrate interactions induces a transition from native to non‐native protein crystals (see AFM images) as—depending on m , the chain‐length difference, which determines whether surface protrusions are hydroxy or methyl functionalized—the underlying non‐ion‐mediated interactions are gradually transformed from mainly associative (H‐bonding) to hydrophobic.
