M. Kogiso et al., INTRALAYER HYDROGEN-BOND-DIRECTED SELF-ASSEMBLY OF NANO-FIBERS FROM DICARBOXYLIC VALYLVALINE BOLAAMPHIPHILES, Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1791-1792
Dicarboxylic L-valyl-L-valine bolaamphiphiles produced nanoscale fiber
s with widths of 10-30 nm, via proton-triggered self-assembly in water
, which are dominated by both intralayer, lateral hydrogen-bond networ
ks between end carboxylic acid groups and parallel beta-sheet networks
between amide groups.
