Helical Aggregate of Oleic Acid and Its Dynamics in Water at pH 8

It is found that helical structures can be formed by a simple achiral fatty acid, oleic acid, in the pH range of 8.0–8.1 at room temperature. Moreover, we succeeded in the first observation of spontaneous dynamics of these helical aggregates in water by optical microscopy.
