A systematic study was performed on the influence of charge and steric hindrance on the assembly into fibres of a series of pentameric peptides based on the well-known β-sheet forming sequence Gly-Ala-Gly-Ala-Gly, which were N-terminally acylated with pentacosadiynoic acid. To investigate the effect of steric hindrance and charge repulsion on the fibre structure, either the N-terminal or the C-...
