Light-responsive hydrogels are highly valued for their dynamic mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In this study, we present a hydrogel system that can either soften or strengthen on green light exposure, or remain unresponsive to light, depending on the addition of adenosyl cobalamin (AdoCbl) and Co2+. These protein-based hydrogels were formed using genetically encoded SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry and included green light-sensitive CarHc protein domains.
