Hydrophobic-region-induced transitions in self-assembled peptide nanostructures

Hydrophobic-region-induced transitions in self-assembled peptide nanostructures

Peptide amphiphiles readily self-assemble into a variety of nanostructures, but how molecular architectures affect the size and shape of the nanoaggregates formed is not well understood. From a combined TEM and AFM study of a series of cationic peptide surfactants AmK (m = 3, 6, and 9), we show that...
