Chirality-driven molecular packing structure difference and potential application for 3D printing of a series of bola-type Ala-Phe dipeptides

A series of bola-type dipeptides based on an Ala-Phe building block was synthesized by altering the chirality of Ala and Phe. They were able to self-assemble into right- or left-handed helical nanofibers in a mixture of methanol and water. Both the handedness of the nanofibers and that of the molecu...
