Short peptides are attractive building blocks for the fabrication of self-assembled materials with significant biological, chemical, and physical properties. The microscopic macroscopic properties assemblies usually closely related to dimensionality formed hydrogen bond networks. Here, two completely different supramolecular architectures connected by distinct networks were obtained simply adding a hydroxyl group switch from cyclo-tryptophan-alanine (cyclo-WA) cyclo-tryptophan-serine...
Amyloid fibril formation is a central biochemical process in pathology and physiology. Over decades, substantial advances were made elucidating the mechanisms of amyloidogenesis, its links to disease, production functional supramolecular structures. While term "amyloid" denotes starch-like features these assemblies, no evidence amyloidogenic behavior polysaccharides has been so far reported. Here, we investigate potential amylum (starch) not only self-assemble into hierarchical fibrillar...
