Abstract:
The formation and full characterization of single self-assembling alpha,gamma-peptide nanotubes (alpha,gamma-SPNs) is described. The introduction of C(60) into cyclic peptides allows the preparation of supramolecular 1D fullerene arrangements induced by peptide nanotube formation under appropriate conditions.
