The first direct probing of the nanomechanics of cation–π interactions in aqueous media was accomplished by using a surface forces apparatus with complementary theoretical simulations. The tetraethylammonium (TEA) ion breaks the adhesion between poly‐ L ‐tryptophan (PTrp) and poly‐ L ‐lysine (PLL) with a 100 times higher sensitivity relative to the K + ion (PS=polystyrene, PTyr=poly‐L‐tyrosine, and ACh=acetylcholine).
