Alpha,gamma-peptide nanotube templating of one-dimensional parallel fullerene arrangements

J Am Chem Soc. 2009 Aug 19;131(32):11335-7. doi: 10.1021/ja904548q.

Abstract

The formation and full characterization of single self-assembling alpha,gamma-peptide nanotubes (alpha,gamma-SPNs) is described. The introduction of C(60) into cyclic peptides allows the preparation of supramolecular 1D fullerene arrangements induced by peptide nanotube formation under appropriate conditions.
