Construction of supramolecular helical nanofibers using renewable biomaterials: self-assembly of a cytidylic acid-appended bolaamphiphile in lemon juice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We performed the self-assembly of a 1,18-cytidylic acid-appended bolaamphiphile (C18C) in lemon juice, which contained citric acid, and succeeded in forming left-handed helical nanofibers with diameters, lengths, and pitches of ca. 6-7 nm, several hundred nm to 5 μm, and ca. 30-40 nm, respectively.

Nanofiber formation from sequence-selective DNA-templated self-assembly of a thymidylic acid-appended bolaamphiphile.
Quaternary self-assembly of a thymidylic acid-appended bolaamphiphile, with heteropolymeric DNA as a template, produced supramolecular helical nanofibers in the presence of specific target DNA.
متن کاملHydrodynamic Helical Orientations of Nanofibers in a Vortex
In this review article, I report our recent studies on spectroscopic visualizations of macroscopic helical alignments of nanofibers in vortex flows. Our designed supramolecular nanofibers, formed through self-assemblies of dye molecules, helically align in torsional flows of a vortex generated by mechanical rotary stirring of the sample solutions. The nanofiber, formed through bundling of linea...
