Supramolecular Self‐Assembly of N‐Acetyl‐Capped β‐Peptides Leads to Nano‐ to Macroscale Fiber Formation

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

From little things big things grow: 14-Helical N-acetyl β3-peptides spontaneously self-assemble in a unique head-to-tail fashion to form fibers from solution. The fiber size can be controlled from the nano- to the macroscale. The inherent flexibility in design and ease of synthesis provide powerful new avenues for the development of novel bio- and nanomaterials by supramolecular self-assembly.
