A novel glycolipid, N-(11-cis-octadecenoyl)-β-d-glucopyranosylamine self-assembles in water to provide monodispersed and well-defined glycolipid nanotubes (LNTs) with a high-axial-ratio structure. Mechanical stirring of the LNT suspension proved to convert the obtained long LNTs into short ones (<10 μm) in length, depending on the feature of hydrogen bond network in the LNTs.
