Abstract

(Figure Presented) A nice gathering at the interface: The de novo design and characterization of amphiphilic α/β-peptides, which form ordered two-dimensional assemblies at the air-water interface composed of olig-omers in pleated conformation similar to β-sheets of a-peptides, is reported. The positioning of ionic side chains along the backbone can exert a profound effect on the propensity to self-assemble.
