Hard-soft chemistry guides the adaptable charge transport in lysine-doped heptapeptide junctions.

Counterions always coexist with charged peptides in charge transport processes, which are excellent candidate components for tunable molecular electronic devices. Here, we introduced hard-soft acid base theory to analyze the counterion-modulated peptide charge transport. We demonstrate that the peptide charge transport is improved by enhanced peptide-counterion interactions.
