Connecting rods: Rigid rod–rod block copolymers are synthesized from peptide and polyisocyanide blocks (see picture: blue=poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate); red=poly(methylbenzyl isocyanide) or poly(L-isocyanoalanyl-L-alanine methyl ester). The polyisocyanide helix has side arms organized in a parallel β-sheet (light blue). Some copolymers self-assemble into ordered layers of hollow capsules.
