Dual self-assembly of supramolecular peptide nanotubes to provide stabilisation in water

Reversibility of peptide hydrogen bonded supramolecular assemblies makes them tunable but highly dynamic and prone to disassembly at the low concentration. Here the authors show a secondary hydrophobic interaction, near the peptide core that stabilises the peptide bonds, without losing the solubilit...
