Crystal structure of an amphiphilic foldamer reveals a 48-mer assembly comprising a hollow truncated octahedron
Foldamers provide an attractive medium to test the mechanisms by which biological macromolecules fold into complex three-dimensional structures, and ultimately to design novel protein-like architectures with properties unprecedented in nature. Here, we describe a large cage-like structure formed from an amphiphilic arylamide foldamer crystallized from aqueous solution. Forty-eight copies of the...
متن کاملPeptide Nanovesicles Formed by the Self-Assembly of Branched Amphiphilic Peptides
Peptide-based packaging systems show great potential as safer drug delivery systems. They overcome problems associated with lipid-based or viral delivery systems, vis-a-vis stability, specificity, inflammation, antigenicity, and tune-ability. Here, we describe a set of 15 & 23-residue branched, amphiphilic peptides that mimic phosphoglycerides in molecular architecture. These peptides undergo s...
متن کاملMolecular self-assembly of surfactant-like peptides to form nanotubes and nanovesicles.
Several surfactant-like peptides undergo self-assembly to form nanotubes and nanovesicles having an average diameter of 30-50 nm with a helical twist. The peptide monomer contains 7-8 residues and has a hydrophilic head composed of aspartic acid and a tail of hydrophobic amino acids such as alanine, valine, or leucine. The length of each peptide is approximately equal to 2 nm, similar to that o...
متن کاملHollow microspheres of amphiphilic azo homopolymers: self-assembly and photoinduced deformation behavior.
A unique way to fabricate hollow microspheres by using an amphiphilic azo homopolymer (BP-AZ-CA) and photoinduced deformation behavior of the hollow structures in the solid state are reported.
متن کاملHierarchically Ordered Self‐Assembly of Amphiphilic Bifullerenes
A series of novel functionalised dumbbell-shaped bifullerenes in which two [5.0] pentakis-adducts of C60 are covalently connected by cyclic bismalonates were synthesised. These dimeric compounds, carrying various combinations of hydrophilic and hydrophobic addends, self-assemble in aqueous solution towards supramolecular architectures of different structural complexity as observed by cryogenic ...
