Abstract

Peptide Supramolecular Handedness In article number 2304424, Hai Xu, Jun Yang, Jiqian Wang, and co-workers report how changing the chirality of the terminal charged residues of an amphiphilic hexapeptide sequence Ac-I4K2-NH2 gives rise to distinct nanostructures and supramolecular handedness. The formation of wide nanotubes arises from the co-assembly of right- and left-handed β-strands while thin, right-handed twisted nanofibrils are formed by the assembly of left-handed β-strands.
