Double‐minded supramolecules : The interactions between human serum albumin (HSA) and J‐aggregation of a cyanine dye (PTC) in phosphate buffer solution are studied. In the presence of HSA, the achiral J‐aggregate shows chirality. The chirality can be inversed by adjusting the ratio of HSA to PTC and the pH value (see picture; CD=circular dichroism).
