Abstract

Between the sheets: A unique cross-β-peptide amphiphile assembly positions the acyl chain within the hydrophobic cross-β laminate (see picture; acyl chain: red, peptide: gray, lysine: blue). The atomic-level structure of the self-assembled surface can also be systematically altered, opening the possibility to create a wide range of nanostructured biomaterials.
