Tuning secondary structure and self-assembly of amphiphilic peptides

Self-assembly is one of nature's mechanisms by which higher order structures are obtained. Two of the main driving forces for self-assembly, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding, are both present within amphiphilic peptides. Here, it is demonstrated how the intricately interconnected f...
