Abstract
Self-assembling nanotubes made from cyclic D,L-alpha-peptides and from cyclic beta-peptides display a wide range of structural and functiona l capabilities that can be directed by design and that have enabled th eir application in biological as well as materials science, for exampl e as ion channels and in novel composite materials. Recent advances in the field are described here.
