Abstract

Supramolecular chiral nanotubes that have a dense layer of short poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains on their inner surfaces are able to not only extract peptides from bulk solution, but also back-extract them by means of thermal dehydration and rehydration of the PEG chains. In article number 1800030, Naohiro Kameta and co-workers show that the peptides, including D-amino acids (green-colored Ala and Phe), can be chirally separated through a transportation process in the nanotube channels with tunable chemical features and inner diameters.
